With a unanimous decision over Alex Garcia on Saturday night, Neil Magny has now won four fights in a calendar year quicker than any other fighter in modern-UFC history. Magny achieved the feat 2 days quicker than Roger Huerta did in 2007.
Magny becomes just the twelfth fighter to get his hand raised four times in a year. Only Huerta, in 2007, has managed to win five UFC fights in a year. With over four months lefts in the year, Magny may get an opportunity to equal Huerta's mark.
Entering 2014, few would have guessed that Magny would go on such a streak. The TUF 16 veteran had lost his previous two UFC contests in 2013, and was fighting just to stay employed with the world's largest MMA organization.
Below is the full list of UFC fighters who have won at least four fights in a calendar year, since the unified rules were implemented.
