UFC welterweight Geoff Neal lost a unanimous decision to Neil Magny at UFC Vegas 26 on Saturday. In that fight, Neal looked sharp in the first round, but as the fight wore on he seemed incapable of keeping up with Magny’s pace or offering any kind of challenge to the eventual winner.
Since then Neal has taken to social media to reveal the frightening circumstances he endured ahead of that bout. In his Instagram post Neal said he has been unwell every since suffering from sepsis last year.
Neal added that he was close to pulling out of the Magny fight after severe bouts of sickness.
