Neil Magny vs. Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos co-headlines UFC on ESPN+ 9 in Rochester

A welterweight bout between Neil Magny and Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos is the latest addition to May’s UFC on ESPN+ 9 lineup.

UFC officials today announced the bout between Magny (21-7 MMA, 14-6 UFC) and Zaleski dos Santos (21-5 MMA, 7-1 UFC) for May 18 at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y. The entire card streams on ESPN+.

Neil Magny

Magny, an honorable mention selection in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie MMA welterweight rankings, is coming off a knockout loss to Santiago Ponzinibbio at UFC Fight Night 140 this past November. Prior to that, he’d won three of four inside the octagon.

Zaleski dos Santos, who also an honorable mention pick, has one of the great streaks in the division at the moment. The Brazilian has won his past seven, including a first-round submission of Curtis Millender in the UFC on ESPN+ 4 co-headliner earlier this month in Kansas.

With the addition, the latest UFC on ESPN+ 9 lineup includes:

  • Rafael dos Anjos vs. Kevin Lee
  • Neil Magny vs. Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos
  • Sijara Eubanks vs. Aspen Ladd
  • Ian Heinisch vs. Antonio Carlos Junior
  • Megan Anderson vs. Felicia Spencer
  • Zak Cummings vs. Trevin Giles
  • Grant Dawson vs. Mike Trizano
  • Patrick Cummins vs. Ed Herman
