Matchup Roundup: New UFC and Bellator fights announced in the past week (May 1-7)

All the UFC and Bellator fight announcements that were first reported or confirmed by MMA Junkie in the past week.

MMA fight announcements are hard to follow. With so many outlets and channels available, it’s nearly impossible to organize.

But here at MMA Junkie, we’ve got your back.

Each week, we’ll compile all the newly surfaced fights in one spot. Every Monday, expect a feature listing everything you might have missed from the UFC or Bellator.

Here are the fight announcements that were broken or confirmed by MMA Junkie from May 1-7.

UFC on ABC 5 finalizing Neil Magny vs. Phil Rowe

The UFC on ABC 5 fight card for Jacksonville, Fla. continues to build with the addition of Neil Magny vs. Phil Rowe.

Two of the tallest and longest fighters in the UFC welterweight division are set to square off.

At UFC on ABC 5 in Jacksonville, Fla., longtime contender [autotag]Neil Magny[/autotag] (27-10 MMA, 20-9 UFC) will return to take on [autotag]Phil Rowe[/autotag] (10-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC). The card takes place June 24 at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena.

Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.

Unusually lengthy for the 170-pound division, Magny is 6’3″ with an 80″ reach. Rowe is 6’3″ with an 80.5″ reach.

Magny, 35, looks to bounce back from a quick submission defeat in January when he stepped into a UFC 283 bout vs. Gilbert Burns on short notice. With the defeat, Magny fell to 6-2 in his most recent eight outings.

Rowe, 32, enters the bout on a three-fight winning streak. All three of those victories were TKOs, as he finished Orion Cosce, Jason Witt, and Niko Price with strikes.

With the addition, the UFC on ABC 5 lineup for June 24 in Jacksonville includes:

Josh Emmett vs. Ilia Topuria
Neil Magny vs. Phil Rowe
Maycee Barber vs. Amanda Ribas
Brendan Allen vs. Bruno Silva
Loik Radzhabov vs. Mateusz Rebecki
Kleydson Rodrigues vs. Tatsuro Taira
Sedriques Dumas vs. Punahele Soriano
Tabatha Ricci vs. Gillian Robertson

UFC 283 post-event facts: Jamahal Hill sets striking record in bloody title win

According to the numbers, Jamahal Hill delivered a record-setting beatdown of Glover Teixeira to claim gold at UFC 283.

The first numbered UFC event of 2023 proved to be a good one. Two new champions were crowned Saturday at UFC 283 at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro.

The main event of the organization’s return to Brazil after nearly three years saw [autotag]Jamahal Hill[/autotag] (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) deliver a lopsided beatdown of [autotag]Glover Teixeira[/autotag] (33-9 MMA, 16-7 UFC) to win a unanimous decision and claim the vacant light heavyweight champion.

In the co-headliner, [autotag]Brandon Moreno[/autotag] (21-5-2 MMA, 9-2-2 UFC) proved to be the better man to [autotag]Deiveson Figueiredo[/autotag] (21-3-1 MMA, 10-3-1 UFC) when he produced a sensational showing for the third-round doctor’s stoppage TKO to become undisputed flyweight champ and win their rivalry 2-1-1.

UFC 283 results: Gilbert Burns quickly taps Neil Magny, calls out Colby Covington

It took Gilbert Burns nine months to find a fight, and less than five minutes to end it at UFC 283.

RIO DE JANEIRO – It took [autotag]Gilbert Burns[/autotag] nine months to find a fight, and less than five minutes to end it at UFC 283.

In the UFC 283 featured bout, Burns (21-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC) submitted [autotag]Neil Magny[/autotag] (27-10 MMA, 20-9 UFC) by arm-triangle choke at 4:15 of Round 1. The welterweight bout was part of the pay-per-view main card at Jeunesse Arena.

After a brief feeling-out process, Burns got hold of Magny and the beginning of the end commenced. Burns elevated and dropped Magny to the canvas. Slowly but surely, Burns moved into mount. Once there, Burns quickly grabbed hold of Magny’s neck and shifted to the side, the submission locked.

After the fight, Burns said he wants a quick turnaround and called for a bout against Colby Covington.

“I want to be back very quick, and I’m going to finish everybody,” Burns yelled during his in-cage interview with Daniel Cormier. “Colby Covington, I’m coming for you.

With the victory, Burns bounces back from a closely contested Fight of the Year candidate loss against Khamzat Chimaev in April. He is 7-2 in his most recent nine bouts, with the only other loss in a UFC welterweight title challenge against Kamaru Usman in 2021.

Magny falls to 1-2 in his most recent three. One of the most active fighters on the UFC roster, Magny is 9-3 since February 2020.

UFC 283: Gilbert Burns vs. Neil Magny odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC 283 odds and lines between Gilbert Burns and Neil Magny, with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

In a welterweight bout on the main card, Gilbert Burns will face Neil Magny Saturday at UFC 283 at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the UFC 283: Burns vs. Magny odds, and make our expert picks and predictions.

The early prelims begin at 5:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+, with the prelims set to begin at 8 p.m. ET on ABC/ESPN and the main card starting at 10 p.m. ET on Pay-Per-View (PPV).

Burns, the UFC’s 5th-ranked welterweight, has dropped 2 of his last 3 bouts but is 5-2 since returning to welterweight back in 2019.

UFC 283: Burns vs. Magny picks and predictions

Records: Gilbert Burns (20-5) | Neil Magny (27-9)

Fight result (2-way line or moneyline)

The line is a little strong in Burns’ favor considering his recent losses, but he still is a top-5 welterweight in the UFC. He’s the safest bet to win given his striking accuracy (48%) and incredible ground game. Magny could sneak a TKO, which makes his +360 odds an attractive bet, but it’s difficult to bet against Burns, who is more of a polished fighter.

The payout for Burns at -475 is too low for a straight bet, so the better play is BURNS BY SUBMISSION (+195). Eight of Burns’ 20 wins have been by submission while Magny was submitted in 5 of his 9 losses.

Over/Under (O/U)

I don’t expect this fight to go the distance — both fighters will be looking for a finish, especially Burns who is looking to get back into the title picture. Burns has 7 victories by finish in his UFC career, and 6 of those came in the first 2 rounds. Meanwhile, Magny has been finished in the first 2 rounds 5 times in his UFC career. Don’t expect this to go past the 2nd round.

LEAN UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (-135).

The UFC is on the road for its first pay-per-view of the year, and a pair of title fights top the lineup in Brazil.

UFC 283 takes place Saturday at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ABC and early prelims on ESPN+.

(Click here to open a PDF of the staff picks grid in a separate window.)

In the main event, former light heavyweight champion [autotag]Glover Teixeira[/autotag] (33-8 MMA, 16-6 UFC) takes on [autotag]Jamahal Hill[/autotag] (11-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) for the belt that was vacated by Jiri Prochazka, who beat Teixeira to win the title in 2022.

Hill is a slight favorite at -140 at Tipico Sportsbook; the comeback on ex-champ Teixeira is +120 in front of his home-country fans. But Our 11 editors, writers, radio hosts and videographers have Hill with the lead at 7-4 in the picks.

In the co-feature, flyweight champion [autotag]Deiveson Figueiredo[/autotag] (21-2-1 MMA, 10-2-1 UFC) takes on former champion and current interim titleholder [autotag]Brandon Moreno[/autotag] (20-6-2 MMA, 8-3-2 UFC) for the fourth time with title unification at stake. Their series is knotted at 1-1-1. Moreno is a -125 favorite at the betting window, but it’s Figueiredo with the slimmest possible lead at 6-5 from our pickers.

Also on the main card, [autotag]Gilbert Burns[/autotag] (20-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) takes on [autotag]Neil Magny[/autotag] (27-9 MMA, 20-8 UFC) at welterweight. Burns is a heavy favorite at nearly 5-1 at the sportsbook, and he’s one of our two unanimous picks at 11-0. Magny only has been this big of a betting underdog one other time in his career, and that was his loss to Shavkat Rakhmonov in June 2022.

Our other unanimous pick is former women’s strawweight champion [autotag]Jessica Andrade[/autotag] (23-9 MMA, 14-7 UFC), who will be looking to keep her momentum at flyweight when she takes on [autotag]Lauren Murphy[/autotag] (16-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC). Like Burns, Andrade is a -475 favorite in front of her home fans and she has a shutout in our picks at 11-0.

And to open the main card, comeback submission specialist [autotag]Paul Craig[/autotag] (16-5-1 MMA, 8-5-1 UFC) meets Brazilian fan favorite [autotag]Johnny Walker[/autotag] (19-7 MMA, 5-4 UFC) at light heavyweight. Walker nearly is a 2-1 favorite and has a 7-4 lead in the picks.

In the MMA Junkie reader consensus picks, Teixeira (59 percent), Moreno (67 percent), Burns (88 percent), Andrade (84 percent) and Craig (57 percent) are the choices.

Check out all the picks above.

Neil Magny targets Belal Muhammad fight ‘more than 10 years in the making’ after UFC 283

Neil Magny still has the utmost desire to become UFC champ, and he’s ready to take the hardest road possible to get there.

RIO DE JANEIRO – [autotag]Neil Magny[/autotag] still has the utmost desire to become UFC welterweight champion, and he’s ready to take the hardest road possible to get there.

Magny (27-9 MMA, 20-8 UFC), who has been on the UFC roster since February 2013 and holds the promotional record for most welterweight wins, has had plenty of ups and downs during his decade-long stint in the octagon. He’s still highly relevant, however, and is set to take on Gilbert Burns (20-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) in the UFC 283 featured bout Saturday.

Burns, a former title challenger at 170 pounds, is not a name a lot of people are raising their hand to fight. Magny explicitly called him out, however, and will enter enemy territory in Brazil for the clash, which airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ABC and ESPN+ at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro.

“We’re both fighting for position at this point,” Magny told MMA Junkie and other reporters at UFC 283 media day. “I know his goal is to get to another title shot. That’s my goal, as well. It just so happens that we have to clash for that position right now. When I initially called him it out, it wasn’t for any other reason than he was the No. 5 guy and trying to get me where I want to go. Going into this fight Saturday, I know what’s at stake, I know what this fight brings, and I’m ready for all of it.”

In the past two years, Magny has won three of four fights. His lone setback came against undefeated rising star Shavkat Rakhmonov, but Magny already has bounced back from that result. Beating Burns would be one of the most high-profile wins of Magny’s storied career, and if he gets the job done, he said he’ll be aiming for an even tougher matchup next.

“It’s Belal Muhammad after this fight,” Magny said. “For me, that’s a person to fight. For me, that’s a fight that’s more than 10 years in the making between he and I, and right now what’s at stake as far as title contention, I think that’s a fight that makes a lot of sense. I’m not looking too far ahead – Gilbert is on Saturday – but perfect-world scenario (if I win).”

Magny said his history with Muhammad comes from the fact they both came up on the Chicago regional scene, but never crossed paths. Magny was in Las Vegas shooting Season 16 of “The Ultimate Fighter” when Muhammad was getting ready to make his pro debut for Hoosier Fight Club, which was where Magny fought his final bout before “TUF” and his ultimate call to the UFC. Magny would like a Muhammad fight to happen, but said his focus is all about UFC 283.

It’s the fourth time Magny has competed in Brazil during his UFC tenure, and though he’s had mixed results, the 35-year-old sees a successful night against Burns.

“I’m 1-2 in Rio and more than confident I will make it 2-2 on Saturday night,” he said.
