A pair of welterweight powerhouses are set to clash at UFC 240 as Geoff Neal will meet Niko Price on July 27 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta. Two people with knowledge of the situation told MMA Junkie about the booking on Wednesday, requesting anonymity since the UFC has yet to make an announcement. Neal (11-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) is undefeated since storming onto the UFC scene with a first-round knockout on Dana White’s Contender Series. The Fortis MMA product has since won three bouts in a row, most recently defeating Belal Muhammad via unanimous decision. Price (13-2-1 MMA, 5-2-1 UFC) has finished all five of his UFC wins, scoring a spectacular knockout win over veteran Tim Means in his last bout. UFC 240 is headlined by featherweight champion Max Holloway, who looks to make his third title defense, against former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar.
