Ian Gerry and Geoff Neal are set to fight in the welterweight division at UFC 298. Although the card is headlined by Alexander Volkanovski and Ilia Topuria, there, this is outside of the main event strong card. But this specific fight shows a lot of promise. The fans in Anaheim, California will want these two to put on a show! And they are likely to get one. While the Irishman is currently undefeated, the American is coming off a tough loss. Although many are favoring the current 13-win streak to turn to 14, things can turn very quickly in the UFC.

Ian Gerry is on a tear! But three of his last five wins have come via decision. Therefore, it’s not a foregone conclusion that this will be a quick fight or that the judges will go his way again. But he usually does enough to make sure that he gets the points, as all three have been unanimous decisions. He doesn’t take opponents to the ground often, instead, he looks to win fights standing up. He has managed 70+ significant strikes in four out of his last five fights.
Geoff Neal
Nationality: American
Date of Birth: August 28, 1990
Height: 5’11”
Reach: 75”
Weight: 170
Stance: Southpaw
Record: 14-5-0
Knockout Wins: 8
Geoff Neal has lost three of his last five fights. But the oddsmakers have him losing a fourth one next. Because only two of his fights were won via submission in his career, he’s not likely to try that avenue now. Instead, he will look to win on his feet against Ian Gerry. Although an upset would be incredible, he will need to match the 121 significant strike mark that he had against Vincente Luque. Especially as Neal is not one to shy away from direct engagement throughout the fight.
Fight Prediction
I see this fight being too lopsided for Ian Gerry. Although there is a chance Geoff Neal lands a good hit, overall, Neal is the better fighter. However, picking the total number of rounds remains risky. Gerry can easily end this in the first round of the fight. But he’s also let opponents stick around during other fights. Therefore I am staying away from that entirely, but I am going against the spread with Ian Gerry.
