How did Neil Magny and Emily Magny meet?
The couple was recently seen in on the UFC Embedded episode ahead of Magny’s fight against Gilbert Burns at UFC 283 in Brazil. In the video, he revealed, one of Magny’s training partners was married to Emily’s sister.
Emily Magny recalls it was her sister who set them up. “She kind of set us up and I dismissed the idea of even getting to know him because I didn’t really feel like I wanted to get to know a professional athlete,” She said.

While Emily did not really like the idea of meeting Neil the first time around, when the pair actually did, it was a different story. “He was very different, a bit shy. He was sweet, and I hadn’t really dated somebody like that before.” She further added. Years later, the couple are now happily married, with a beautiful family.
