BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Gilbert Burns vs. Neil Magny:

Brandon Royval, UFC flyweight: I actually think Magny gets it done. Magny is just a tough out for anyone and is super well-rounded and his jab can cause some problems for Burns.

Damon Jackson, UFC featherweight: I think you have to go with Burns in this one. He’s the much better grappler and should be able to take Magny down and get a submission or dominant decision.

Cody Stamann, UFC bantamweight: I expect Burns to take Magny down and have his way with him on the mat.

Thiago Moises, UFC lightweight: Burns by submission early, I think he takes Magny down early and gets a submission.

Dan Ige, UFC featherweight: Gilbert Burns and probably by sub.

Terrance McKinney, UFC lightweight: Gilbert Burns with ease.

Bryan Battle, UFC welterweight: Gilbert Burns knocks him out.

Cody Brundage, UFC middleweight: Burns. The way Magny wins fights is by taking opponents down and out-grappling them but he won’t be able to do that against Gilbert.
