What they said
Chiesa: “Neil’s got great skills and he’s a good man.
“These are the guys I want to compete against. I’ve done the whole press conference thing, I’ve done the trash talk and stuff.
“It’s just not who I am. That doesn’t mean that any fight after I won’t get pitted against a guy who will talk trash, and that’s all fine and dandy. I just don’t engage in that anymore.
“It’s always nice to go out there and compete against a guy you have a lot of respect for, and is a good all-around human being, a great athlete. I think that can lead to fireworks as well.
“You don’t have to hate the guy to put on a great performance and I know Neil is gonna bring it.”
Magny: “This is a huge opportunity for both Michael Chiesa and I to go out and prove why we’re two of the best welterweights in the division.”
“It was kind of being overshadowed with the Khamzat hype and Leon Edwards being inactive, it’s kind of taken the headlines going into this fight.
“I feel like everything played out just the right way in order for Chiesa and I go out and shine.”
