DALLAS – UFC welterweight Geoff Neal thinks a fight with Gilbert Burns late in the summer makes sense.
Burns (22-6 MMA, 15-6 UFC) is fresh off a unanimous decision loss to Belal Muhammad in this past Saturday’s UFC 288 co-main event at Prudential Center in Newark N.J., where he appeared to injure his shoulder early on a takedown attempt.
Neal (15-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC), who’s coming off a submission loss to Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 285 in March, is aware that Burns isn’t 100 percent, which is why he suggested August as a timeline.
