Shavkat Rakhmonov and Geoff Neal put on an impressive fight that earnt fight of the night honours at UFC 285. Rakhmonov and Neal each put their best into the other with powerful offense but in the end, it was the shiftiness of the Kazakhstani that made the difference.
This bout was originally scheduled for January but at the time Neal was forced to pull out due to injury. Fast forward to Friday’s weigh-ins and Neal weighs in four pounds over their welterweight limit but Rakhmonov went on with the fight anyway.
