Protagonist of the main fight of the UFC Las Vegas 59, Geoff neal will have the tough task of facing the Brazilian Vincent Luque, former top-5 in the welterweight division (up to 77,1kg). In an interview with the website 'B.J. Penn', the North American revealed that he doesn't like to take his duels to the judges' decision and stated that he intends to knock out the Brazilian athlete. The clash will take place next Saturday (06).
“No way, I don’t like going all the way. Going all the way with Luque could lead to brain damage. I want to end this in the first or second round. I don't want to stay there bleeding all over the place. Let's go in there, fight and end this shit. Anyone can be knocked out, so I believe I can knock him out, but I'm not going to bet on it. If it happens, it happens. I have the strength, the size, the speed and the accuracy,” said a confident Neal.
Division number 13 led by Kamaru Usman, Geoff recovered from an uncomfortable sequence of two consecutive defeats by beating the Argentine Santiago Ponzinibbio, in December 2021. Revealed in the 'Contender Series', the North American has a record of 14 triumphs and 4 setbacks as an MMA professional.
