‘I almost died’ - Geoff Neal reveals sepsis diagnosis behind withdrawal from Magny fight

Geoff Neal crashed his way into the UFC welterweight rankings last year behind a pair of highlight wins. The Fortis MMA talent racked up a second round TKO over Niko Price in July of 2019, only to follow it with a quick first round KO over Mike Perry in December. Later this month, he looked ready to cement his spot in the top 10 against longtime veteran talent Neil Magny. Unfortunately his path to a UFC title shot is going to have to wait a little bit longer.

Late Sunday, August 9th, ‘Handz of Steel’ revealed that had spent the last week in the ICU.
