Draws red-hot fighter
Neal will take on Carlos Prates in a welterweight matchup at UFC 314 on April 12 in Miami, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Once considered one of the division's top prospects, Neal hit a bit of a rough spot with a 2-4 run spanning from 2020 through early-2024. He bounced back with a first-round finish against veteran Rafael dos Anjos this past October, but he now draws a red-hot fighter in Prates who has one four consecutive fights by stoppage in the first two rounds and earned a post-fight bonus in each. Neal is a higher-volume striker by a slight margin, but he'll be on the short end of striking defense, statistically, in addition to being at a disadvantage in both height and reach.

Snaps brief losing streak
Neal defeated Rafael dos Anjos via TKO (knee injury) at 1:30 of Round 1 at UFC 308 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
Neal looked great for a long as the fight lasted. He came out on fire, picking up a huge knockdown and an easy takedown. He almost certainly would have continued to beat up RDA, but a knee injury suffered by the latter ended the fight in an instant. It's not the way Geoff was hoping to win, but entering with back-to-back losses to Ian Garry and Shavkat Rakhmonov on his resume, "Handz of Steel" needed a victory any way he could find one. The 34-year-old Texan improves his record to 3-2 in his past five bouts dating back to December 2021.

Slated to take on dos Anjos
Neal will face Rafael dos Anjos in a welterweight bout at UFC 308 on Oct. 26, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Neal is coming off two consecutive losses, the latest at the hands of Ian Machado Garry via split decision back in February. That's dropped his UFC record to 7-4-0, but he'll have a chance to get back into the win column against dos Anjos, who is also reeling from two straight losses. Neal's youth and reach, among other aspects, should give him a slight leg up here in late October.
