In an absolute treat for fight fans, UFC is back with a triple-header fight week where Michael Chiesa takes on Neil Magny in the main event headliner of UFC Fight Island 8.

Michael Chiesa will be ending his year-long hiatus as he takes on Neil Magny in an exciting battle of the welterweights. Michael Chiesa has been on a tear since he moved up from lightweight. Chiesa decided to move up in weight class after suffering back to back losses to Kevin Lee and Anthony Pettis.

Since moving up to welterweight, Michael is on a three-fight winning streak having beaten the likes of Carlos Condit, Diego Sanchez and Rafael Dos Anjos.

Prior to that, he defeated Chinese UFC star Li Jingliang via decision at UFC 248.
