Welterweight Knockout Artists Finally Get To Square Off As Geoff Neal And Carlos Prates Hope To Make A Bid For The Top 10 With A Win At UFC 319: Du Plessis vs Chimaev
Patience is a respected, aspirational and admirable virtue. That said, nothing tests one’s patience more than waiting for a fun and intriguing matchup between two knockout artists in the Octagon.
Geoff Neal and Carlos Prates were booked to fight to fight in April at UFC 314 in Miami until Neal pulled out of the bout. Prates fought in the meantime, suffering his first UFC loss to Ian Machado Garry, which meant the matchup with Neal remained on the table in a real way.
