A welterweight fight previously booked for last August is on deck for next month.
ESPN’s Brett Okamoto reports that #9 ranked Neil Magny and #11 Geoff Neal will square off on the UFC’s May 8th Fight Night show. No location or venue has been announced yet.
Neal (13-3) saw his undefeated run in the UFC come to an end against Stephen Thompson to cap off the 2020 schedule. His unanimous decision loss marked his biggest step up in competition after previously defeating the likes of Mike Perry, Niko Price, and Belal Muhammad.
Magny (24-8) is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Michael Chiesa at UFC Fight Island 8 in January.
