After Saturday’s win, Magny called out No. 5 ranked welterweight Gilbert Burns.

”I feel like challenging myself against a good grappler in Gilbert Burns is just going to go out there and show it. I guarantee it will be an exciting one either way,” Magny said.

Although the Brazilian is many steps up in the rankings, he did seem to like the fight.

Congrats @NeilMagny last time I heard @ufc said I have an opponent for 🇧🇷 if he doesn’t show up, we can dance I’m in 💯% to make this Fight happen! For now great finish and congrats on your record! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
