Geoff Neal is looking like a force to be reckoned with in the UFC’s welterweight division.
The Fortis MMA product received a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus for his second-round stoppage of Niko Price in a featured welterweight tilt at UFC 240 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on Saturday night. After a wild opening stanza, Neal put Price away with forceful ground-and-pound at the 2:39 mark of the period.
Elsewhere, Hakeem Dawodu captured the card’s other $50,000 “Performance of the Night” paycheck thanks to a finish of promotional newcomer Yoshinori Horie in a preliminary featherweight clash.
