Callout Collection: Who UFC 250 winners want next – and how likely they’ll get them

Herbert Burns and Neil Magny were among those who name-dropped their preferred next opponents at UFC 250 in Las Vegas.

Earning wins in the UFC is certainly no easy task, but what comes next is often even more important: the post-fight callout.

So after Saturday’s UFC 250 event in Las Vegas, who took advantage of their time on the mic? See below for this week’s Callout Collection – and just how realistic each one is.

* * * * *

First up, let’s take a look at the preliminary card …

Herbert Burns

Wants to fight: [autotag]Ryan Hall[/autotag] or [autotag]Bryce Mitchell[/autotag]

The callout: “I want to get back quickly, I want to get back soon. I want to fight on the ‘Fight Island’. We already know the location – they already decided it’s in Abu Dhabi – so the plan is to go there and fight again soon, and hopefully against a good guy. I gave two names: Bryce Mitchell and Ryan Hall, two grapplers. Ryan Hall’s even ranked – he’d be my first choice. But if he doesn’t want (it), I know Mitchell is a tough guy (and) he doesn’t run from a challenger. I’m a challenger, so let’s go.”

The reality: [autotag]Herbert Burns[/autotag] may have kicked off his UFC career with a knockout, but he returned to his grappling roots to score an impressive win over Evan Dunham at UFC 250 and his post-fight suggestions for his next opponent showed where his strengths lie.

Burns very smartly called out a pair of fellow grapplers who few people are keen to face right now, which should give him a great chance of landing one of them for his next fight. Mitchell will face anyone and would have no qualms about testing his own impressive ground game against the Brazilian grappling ace. But the fight that offers the most intrigue for me is the Hall fight. “The Wizard’s” very specific set of ground skills has made him a must-avoid opponent at 145 pounds, which makes Burns’ callout all the more interesting.

Both matchups seem like valid options for Burns, but the Hall fight offers a bout against ranked opposition and gives “The Blaze” the chance to catapult himself towards title contention at 145 pounds while his older brother Gilbert attempts to capture gold at 170. A two-pronged Burns brothers title charge would certainly make for an interesting narrative, so sending Herbert down the faster track could make promotional sense here.

UFC 250: Neil Magny full post-fight interview

UFC 250 results: Neil Magny surges late, earns unanimous decision over Anthony Rocco Martin

Neil Magny is now on a two-fight winning streak after UFC 250.

From a viewer’s perspective, [autotag]Neil Magny[/autotag] vs. [autotag]Anthony Rocco Martin[/autotag] was a close fight – even if the judges’ scorecards indicated otherwise.

When the dust settled, Magny (23-7 MMA, 16-6 UFC) earned a unanimous decision Saturday night at UFC 250 with scores of 30-27, 30-27, 29-28.

In the opening round, Martin (17-6 MMA, 9-6 UFC) controlled the fight early against the cage. When the two fighters separated, Magny utilized his striking – especially his leg kicks.

The second round saw Martin tag Magny early. Shortly thereafter, he got the fight to the ground, but Magny reversed. As the round progressed, both momentum and control swung back and forth.

The most one-sided round of the fight was the third. Cardio became an X-factor when Martin visibly slowed, breathing deeply. Martin ate a series of hard punches from Magny, who ultimately won the fight by unanimous decision.

[lawrence-related id=525013,524758,524829]

With the victory, Magny now has won back-to-back fights and four of his most recent five. Magny’s fight against Martin was his second since returning from a 16-month layoff due to a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency suspension, which was later lifted.

As for Martin, the loss is his second in three fights. Prior to that stretch, Martin had won four straight fights.

The welterweight bout was part of the UFC 250 main card at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN/ESPN+ and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
