Geoff Neal finally quit his job as a server, now he’s solely focused on conquering the UFC’s best

Geoff Neal knew the day would come when he would finally give up his second job as a server once he made it to the UFC.

Throughout his decade long fighting career, the former Dana White Contender Series veteran had maintained a day job to supplement his income because MMA on the regional scene rarely provided a stable income.

Add to that, Neal had to provide for his family, and serving at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant gave him a steady paycheck as he chased his dreams to make it to the UFC.

Now in his fifth fight in the promotion after rattling off four straight wins, the 29-year-old Texas native quit his other job to focus on the one he truly loves.
