The middleweights will undoubtedly be the stars of UFC 319, but the division one weight category below should supply one of the best fights of the card when Carlos Prates squares off with Geoff Neal. In a classic prospect vs. veteran matchup at UFC 319, Prates (21-7, 4-1 UFC) will look to get back on the winning trail after a narrow defeat to Ian Machado-Garry.
Standing in his way is the brick wall that is Neal (16-6, 8-4 UFC), a stalwart opponent who has made a living off of dealing out massive knockouts for the last eight years.
