Mansur Abdul-Malik Post-Fight Interview | UFC Fight Night: Magny vs Prates
/
The Xtreme Couture representative is still raw and learning, but his upside is off the charts. This was a one-sided drubbing from the jump and with further time in the gym and more experience inside the Octagon, the unbeaten 27-year-old could develop into a dangerous addition to the 185-pound ranks.
Gillian Robertson defeats Luana Pinheiro by unanimous decision (29-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Gillian Robertson Post-Fight Interview | UFC Fight Night: Magny vs Prates
/
Robertson had success in the opening frame, closing the distance and dragging Pinheiro to the canvas, though she was unable to really instigate much meaningful offense. The Brazilian did well to keep things standing in the second, landing in space and shutting down Robertson’s takedown attempts, only to have the Florida-based Canadian take the fight to the canvas early in the third and dominate from top position for most of the round.
When the tens and nines were added up, it was Robertson that came out ahead, registering her third win of the year and fifth victory in her last six appearances. The 29-year-old has been one of the most active fighters on the roster over the last several years, and shows continued development every time she steps into the Octagon.

Gaston Bolanos Post-Fight Interview | UFC Fight Night: Magny vs Prates
/
Bolanos was getting the better of things in the first before getting clipped by Romious in the waning moments of the opening round. The roles were reversed in the second, as the recent Dana White’s Contender Series grad controlled on the canvas in the first half of the second before “The Dreamkiller” found a home for some elbows and punished Romious to the horn. The third was a grappling-heavy frame, with neither man able to get off with much significant offense.
For the second straight fight, the judges were tasked with determining the victor, and when the scores were added up, it was Bolanos that came out ahead, collecting his first UFC victory in his second trip into the Octagon. This was an entertaining, fun fight that was far more competitive than the final scores suggest.

Reinier de Ridder Post-Fight Interview | UFC Fight Night: Magny vs Prates
/
The former ONE Championship two-weight champion dropped Meerschaert with a left hook in the final 10 seconds of the opening frame before the two engaged in a back-and-forth second round where their outstanding ground games largely cancelled each other out, creating numerous scrambles and interesting interactions. In the third, de Ridder was able to put Meerschaert on the canvas early before latching onto the fight-ending choke.
This was a hard fought battle against a durable veteran and a good win for de Ridder as he begins his tenure in the UFC. The 34-year-old is an intriguing addition to the middleweight ranks, and moved to 18-2 overall with 16 finishes with the victory on Saturday evening.

Carlos Prates Post-Fight Interview | UFC Fight Night: Magny vs Prates
/
Magny started the contest testing Prates' takedown defense, but the Brazilian was able to remain upright throughout before going on the offensive. He stalked Magny and pinned him along the fence, wobbling him with a short right hand before eventually stopping him with a left hand to the temple in the closing seconds of the first round.
That’s now four fights and four finishes for Prates, who has earned back-to-back devastating knockouts against tenured veterans in Magny and Li Jingliang. The Brazilian should find himself in the Top 15 when the rankings update next week, and very much looks like a contender in the welterweight division after closing out his rookie year in the UFC with another dominant effort.
