The leg kicks are essential to slow Magny down and get inside into range. While he doesn’t possess the best hands, as BJJ guys tend not to, he has very useful kicks. On the feet, Martin has been evolving slowly over the years into a very competent striker. A beautiful head kick KO of Ryan LaFlare in 2018 all the same, but that’s a rare feat over a 22-fight-career. In a career that spans over the course of a decade, Martin has just ONE KO finish. It’s safe to say that you wouldn’t be offending anyone by saying that Martin has relied heavily on decision and submission victories in the past. His clear path to victory is keeping things standing where he has a monumental advantage. Magny shouldn’t test that, despite his improvements in the clinch/on the ground. Magny has lost 4 times via submission and Martin has 9 wins via submission across his career. The one element that Magny has got to be cautious about is his ground game. Implementing McGregor style shoulder strikes, knees, and level changes kept Li from utilizing any of his short power shots. The elite grapplers tend to cause Magny serious problems in the clinch and on the ground, however in his last fight the clinch work was outstanding.
An area where he’s shown the most weakness and vulnerability in the past. His length makes it incredibly difficult to clasp the hands for a double leg and despite his talent of fighting at range, he’s also shown an improved clinch game. Magny uses all of his 80″ reach to tag Condit. Li was constantly looking for the takedown and big power shots, but Magny, as ever, used his frame perfectly. A perfect example was his last fight, against the self-proclaimed “Violenceweight” champion, Li Jingliang. He uses it perfectly, keeping his opponents at the very end of his shots and not allowing them to close the distance. Magny would be a big Light-Heavyweight and ironically, he has a similar frame to that of the current LHW king, Jon Jones. He uses his striking primarily but mixes up the takedowns with the striking very well.Īlong with his cardio, he’s one of the longest Welterweights, at 6”3 with a whopping 80” reach. He puts a pace on you from the first bell to the last, and you’re likely going to have to knock him out to slow him down. In terms of cardio, there are few, if any welterweights that can keep up with Magny. However, this upcoming bout is arguably Martin’s toughest test. It appears that they really study their opponents’ weaknesses before going to battle. His camp has got him more organized and focused. He’s got better with every one of his last fights and seems to be an incredibly smart and prepared. Martin has also elevated his striking capabilities. One of the smoothest submissions you’ll ever see. Matthews ia a high-level BJJ black-belt and Martin finished him via Anaconda choke.

He has 9 professional submissions, the most impressive coming most recently against Jake Matthews. Prior to that, Martin has made a real name for himself as a submission specialist. He’s since bounced back with an impressive victory over Ramazan Emeev in November of last year. But, when he got his first real test against Demain Maia however, he lost via majority decision. While those names aren’t quite as reputable as Magny’s former opponents, it was still an incredibly impressive year for Martin. He won four straight against Keita Nakamura, Ryan LaFlare, Jake Matthews and Serigo Moraes. Martin (17-5) has had a somewhat similar run of things over the last several years. That said, Magny looked incredible in his last outing and if he can reproduce that against Martin, he’ll be in line for another big fight. On his day, Magny looks like a legitimate title threat, but he has lacked the consistency it takes to make a run for the belt. The fact that Magny has wins over the likes of Gastelum, Lombard, Hendricks and Condit, a who’s who of former contenders, champions etc. That was followed by a huge KO loss to Santiage Pinzibnibbio a few months later. He followed that up with a win over Carlos Condit, then knocked Craig White out in the first round. Magny turned it around with a big win over Johny Hendricks, then got submitted by RDA in his next fight. He then rebounded with a three-fight win streak against Erick Silva, Kelvin Gastelum and Hector Lombard, then lost via TKO to Lorenz Larkin.
