Burns choked out Magni in the first round of the UFC in Rio de Janeiro
The Brazilian closed the previous defeat.
On the night of January 22 in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), as part of the main card of the UFC 283 tournament, representatives of the welterweight Brazilian Gilbert Burns and American veteran Neil Magni met in the octagon.
The American started the fight more actively and even managed to transfer the opponent to the ground. However, he failed to develop success.
Burns twisted out of the grip and in turn grabbed the opponent's back, after which he performed a choke hold, from which Magni could not escape. The referee stopped the fight.
Burns got his twenty-first victory in his career, at the same time closing the defeat in the previous match against Khamzat Chimaev
