Neil Magny returned to the welterweight win column earlier tonight (Sat., Aug. 2, 2025) at UFC Vegas 108 LIVE on ESPN+ from inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, stopping veteran Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos with an upset TKO (punches) in the second round.
Magny entered this weekend as a solid betting underdog coming off back-to-back knockout losses at the hands of Carlos Prates and Michael Morales. Those are two of the most dangerous fighters at 170 pounds today so fans expected Magny to return to form and deliver an all-around effort against dos Santos on Saturday night.
Following a competitive first round, dos Santos came out in the second and scored a nice takedown. The Brazilian fighter logged about two minutes of top time before Magny returned to his feet and delivered his comeback. After a brutal knee in the clinch that hurt dos Santos pretty bad, Magny was able to get a takedown of his own. Dos Santos tried getting back to his feet, but when he did Magny got a hold of his back, flattened him out, and punched until the referee stepped in.
