Overview

• Neil Magny officially defeated Jake Matthews by D’Arce choke at 3:08 of Round 3 at UFC Perth, extending his UFC welterweight wins record to 24.
• With roughly one second left in Round 1, Perdios moved in as Magny’s arm dipped during a mounted guillotine, then let the fight continue as the horn sounded.
• Matthews and his management have filed an appeal seeking to overturn the result to a no contest, with the commission set to determine any change to the outcome.
• UFC executive Dave Shaw called the sequence “strange” and said it appeared the fight was stopped before the bell, noting the matter is in the commission’s hands.
• Matthews controlled most of the first two rounds with strong grappling and near submissions before Magny rallied to secure the decisive third‑round choke.
