They call Geoff Neal “Handz of Steel” for good reason.
Neal looked to make it seven in a row when he faced the tough and durable Mike Perry at UFC 245 in Las Vegas last December.
In a battle between two strikers, the power difference was apparent as Neal made quick work of Perry who, at that point, had never been stopped due to strikes.
Just over a minute into the fight, Neal connected with a big head kick that rocked “Platinum.” Seeing the opening for a swift finish, Neal continued to pile on the pressure before eventually finishing his man with a barrage of strikes.
Neal (13-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC) returns to action Saturday when he takes on former two-time title challenger Stephen Thompson (15-4-1 MMA, 10-4-1 UFC) in the main event of UFC Fight Night 183, which takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Before he faces Thompson, relive Neal’s finish of Perry in the video above.
