UFC welterweight Geoff Neal was arrested by police in Collin County, TX over Thanksgiving and charged with a misdemeanor DWI and unlawful carrying of a weapon. He was booked into jail and later released on a $2,000 bond.
Neal is scheduled to face Santiago Ponzinibbio at UFC 268 on December 11. And, according to ESPN, Neal’s spot on the card has not been threatened by news of this arrest.
That outlet reports the UFC are aware of the arrest and have decided not to pull Neal from the card. “The organization has been in communication with him and is in the process of gathering more details,” read a statement to ESPN.
