One of the UFC’s rising contenders may at long last make his 2020 debut.
ESPN’s Brett Okamoto reports that a welterweight bout between Geoff Neal and Neil Magny — Neal vs. Neil, if you will — is in the works for the UFC’s Fight Night event on August 29th. It is likely that the event will take place in Las Vegas at the APEX facility.
Neal (13-2) has won seven in a row, including a spectacular KO of Mike Perry at UFC 245 last December. Signed off of Dana White’s Contender Series, the Texan has been sensational inside the Octagon, with only Belal Muhammad able to last the distance against him.
