If I remember correctly, he buried Jugs under a ton of metal support beams, and while Cain was freeing himself he removed his helmet and zapped him with a sonic attack at close range.

Must've been a pretty powerful one to KO Juggernaut like that.

Anyway, as to the fight at hand, well, Magneto will have the initial advantage, and I could see him pulling a few wins if he's aggressive and prevents Nimrod from being able to recover. In particular he could try to use his magnetism to attack the Sentinel from multiple angles while screwing with his systems. Nimrod's always seemed to have a problem with being surprise attacked or hit from multiple angles.

That said, it could just as easily adapt to Magnus' powers by depolarizing itself or create a personal magnetic field to disrupt his powers. We know he can already generate magentic fields as during his fight with Juggernaut he levitated a huge amount of steel support beams magnetically.

Good fight, but Nimrod has the edge. 7/10

Well, again depending on the setting, Magneto could more or less immobolize Nimrod. Burying him under tons of debris, entangling him with steel cables, or even just creating a giant metal hamster ball and tossing Nimrod into orbit.
