Geoff Neal delivered the performance of his career in his most high-profile fight to date against Vicente Luque at UFC on ESPN 40 . Neal’s (15-4 MMA, 7-2 UFC) striking was crisp from the opening bell and he battered Luque (21-9-1 MMA, 14-5 UFC) with speed and power until he secured the third-round knockout win in the welterweight bout, which served as the co-main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. “I’ve been looking forward to fight someone like Luque,” Neal said in his post-fight interview with Michael Bisping. “I had no choice but to fight, and he brought the fight out of me.” HANDZ OF STEEL INDEED #UFCVegas59 pic.twitter.com/DaBzUhbpkK — ESPN MMA (@espnmma) August 7, 2022 Neal came out of the gate looking very sharp.
