Good fight considering the style, and where both guys are at currently. Magny needs a big name, and Chimaev needs someone we know is an elite fighter. Also interesting considering how well Magney grapples and defends punches.
I think a good move by Magny. Catch Khamzat relatively early in his career before he can mature into what he may become. Name recognition is high so if Magny dominates him he comes out looking good regardless of rankings. If he loses then Magny takes a slight step back but nothing too harsh due Khamzat's rising star.
