Neil Magny vs. Carlos Prates set for UFC Vegas 100 main event
Neil Magny and Carlos Prates will collide in a welterweight battle of generations in the main event of UFC Vegas 100 at the UFC APEX on Nov. 9, multiple people with knowledge of the situation told MMA Fighting.
A veteran of 33 octagon appearances, Magny (29-12) enters the cage looking to rebound from a first-round stoppage defeat to Michael Morales in August, alternating wins and losses for over two years.
The 37-year-old fighter last won in January of 2024, a third-round stoppage against Mike Malott, and holds victories against the likes of Robbie Lawler, Jingliang Li, Carlos Condit, Hector Lombard and Johny Hendricks throughout his UFC career.
With a record of 20-6 in the sport and riding a 12-fight winning streak with 11 finishes, Prates has impressed so far under the UFC banner with three bonus-winning stoppages over Trevin Giles, Charles Radtke and Jingliang Li in 2024.
