Australia’s Jake Matthews finally lands opposite Neil Magny in the octagon when the welterweight mainstays clash in the main card of UFC Perth this Sunday. Matthews is on a 3-fight win streak and will be making his third appearance of the year, following a quick submission of Chidi Njokuani in July. Veteran Magny will step into the octagon for the 36th time, and he currently has the most wins in the 170-pound class. The veteran returned to the win column in August, halting a pair of losses.

Neil Magny continues to break records in the UFC, with the 38-year-old veteran now within touching distance of Donald Cerrone's 38 fights in the octagon. Magny is already tied with Cerrone, Andrei Arlovski, Charles Oliveira, and Max Holloway for the second most wins in UFC history at 23. With two wins in his last four, Magny has shown that he still has the heart and legs to compete at the elite level. Last August, the veteran finished Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos with punches in the second round of their fight. That was Magny's first appearance this year, having dropped two fights last year to Carlos Prates and Michael Morales, losing both by first-round knockouts.

Neil Magny is one of the durable fighters in the UFC, but at 38 and with over forty MMA fights under his belt, it's likely his day is done. We predict a win for Matthews inside the distance.
