- “That loss humbled me, reminded me that I haven’t won anything yet and to focus on what’s in front of me and take it from there. I appreciate that humbling and take it as motivation moving forward to just help me focus on what’s in front of me and not think too far ahead.
- “It’s going to allow me to grow mentally, physically and technically as a fighter, and I can really appreciate that experience overall,”
- “I literally was walking out of the gym on Monday afternoon and saw I had a missed call from Joe Silva,”
- “I called him back right away and he told me he had a spot for me on the card coming up on the 23rd. I literally ran back into the gym and put the phone on speaker, heard what he had to say with my coaches and right away said, ‘Yep, let’s do it!’”
- “Once the fight came through, I called Nate Marquardt right away and told him about the fight,” Magny, who trains alongside Marquardt, Brandon Thatch and fellow Fight Night Saskatoon fill-in Tony Sims as part of the Elevation Fight Team in Denver, Colorado, explains. “He was like, ‘Let’s get a date together to watch some film real quick and we’ll go from there.’ The very next day after training I was at his house – we watched some videos, he put together a game plan, I gave it to my coaches and we started implementing it right away.”
- “I felt good; my coach put me through a workout today and I recovered pretty well in terms of my heart rate coming out of that workout, so I feel like I’m good to start peaking again,”
- “I had a down week – a recovery week – but me getting right back to training allows me to pick up right where I left off.
- “(As soon as the fight with Maia ended), I wanted to get back and work on the things that I did wrong technically in that fight and when it came to taking this fight, there was no hesitation – it was just ‘Okay, let’s go! Let’s get to work!
