Once his leg started to go Magny went into survival mode and never really was in the fight. I kinda feel for the guy, he's been very active and fought a lot of name fighters in the past 3 years( Condit, Hendricks,Maia, RDA, Gastelum,etc.) and yet he doesn't have much to show for it rankings wise. A jump to 185 might do him some good . The problem is his range is his one big advantage and at 185 he wouldn't have that as much.
Does he have problems making 170? If not, I don't see why moving to 185 would help.
He hasn't had much trouble making weight but he his ridiculously tall for the 170 division and he ends up very skinny. Added weight and muscle might help with his striking ( although not necessarily ) . There's some 6-3-6-4 guys at 185 though so his advantage would mean as much there.
He's indeed not THAT good, which is probably why name fighters don't seem to have any issue fighting him. I was just thinking along the line that he's starting to become the gatekeeper of that division and that might not be where he wants to be in his career. Maybe he's like Cerrone and he just wants to fight and get paid and won't care much about rankings and stuff though. I don't know. A move to Jackson Wink might make some sense, he'd learn to throw those oblique kicks with those long ass legs of his .
