LAS VEGAS – Geoff Neal thinks Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 41 co-main event with Vicente Luque is going to be nothing short of “fireworks.”
Neal (14-4 MMA, 6-2 UFC) and Luque (21-8-1 MMA, 14-4 UFC) have gained a reputation as two of the top action fighters in the welterweight division. They’ll clash inside the octagon in a key matchup, which takes place at the UFC Apex and airs on ESPN.
“He’s a great opponent,” Neal told MMA Junkie and other reporters at Wednesday’s UFC on ESPN 41 media day. “He’s very skilled. What’s crazy about it is we have a lot of mutual opponents. We fought a lot of the same guys, so I’ve been watching him since I got in the UFC. I’ve studied a lot on him. He’s changed up his style a little bit, but Vicente is going to be Vicente. He’s going to throw those punches. He’s going to push forward. I’m really excited for it.”
