Hands on the wheel

Hands of Steel*

[@maximfarcasan6508]

I think it's really strange Ian Garry is the big - favourite in this fight. Couple things about Garry, his defense isn't great. Also, he hasn't had to show much in the way of toughness. Conversely, Neal is extremely tough, but he's also a very sophisticated and accurate fighter. His foot positioning is great, his punches have no wind up, he's very crafty and very sneaky and he gave the best welterweight his toughest fight to date. This is one of those rare situations when I feel confident to not only take the odds but put my money on Geoff Neal. He's a more polished fighter, Garry is going to find the upper level of the division is substantially higher than what he was expecting.

[@floptart5712]

Rose colored glasses my man. Ian will win this fight

[@johnnyforsythe9713]

I agree w you 💯 bro .. an let's not forget Ian Gary almost got knocked out by a nobody!! Geoff Neal is the man

[@milkweedreflections]

I don’t like Ian at all but the guy is an insanely good striker. Hoping my man Geoff puts him out though. Hands of steel can crack that chin for sure.

[@rippindrummer666]

@@milkweedreflectionshe’s a good offensive striker but he does get hit. The way Neal moves on his feet is amazing

[@brutaldabs]

garry got knocked down got up recovered and got a finish yet you say hes not tough… i love casual takes lol

[@herfjones3]

I love him so much so likable and always brings it in fights

[@Fermenting760]

This will be Geoff Neal's breakout fight. I expect him to fight for the belt within 3-4 fights.

[@backabeyond]

I don't hate what you're saying, but it is a little crazy.

[@Ajayzmma]

nealchamp would be crazyyy

[@_keno5100]

Then he’ll rematch shavkat

[@GWS1010]

I’d like to see him win but he’s gonna get smoked

[@bnegs521]

😂

The whole world will be behind Geoff on Saturday night.

[@BobBarker-xk5vz]

Neal for the vicious KO

[@meeee214]

LETS GOOOO GEOFF!

[@_jared0731]

This guy really just asked him what his goals are in mma lmao? What answer could he possibly been expecting other than him saying to get the belt??

[@Sporkonafork1]

I hate these reporters voices and questions and they way they speak and everything about them

Please God, give Geoff a resounding victory 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@AhPhoey]

Let's go, Geoff!!!

Geoff Neal seems like a good dude

[@bobspijkermans8653]

He should bring a copy of WAG To the presser and pretend to be reading it the entire time. LOL

It’s wild that this is such a double standard

I'm Irish so on paper I should be for Garry but he represents the modern Irishman, whiny, effeminate and hypocritical. So c'mon Geoff!

lets go

[@ethnicalbert]

hes a prick but hes not effiminate. I bet you are more so with your cute little beardy XD

[@jamesbarker2223]

Civilians running their bitch lips questioning the masculinity of professional fighters. If that's not the definition of the "modern man" I don't know what is.....

[@jeffreynapisa122]

Sepsis can be very dangerous and deadly and the best antidote for that is rest and antibiotic and lots of water I've had it, and it's very painful the swelling you don't feel good the temperature goes up all kind of bad stuff because your blood is getting poisoned..... sepsis is a very underrated thing I gained mine through cellulitis on my leg..... one of the most painful things I ever had to go through, I spent six days in the hospital nothing but resting take an intravenous antibiotic and keeping me hydrated and I rested the entire time and it does bring you down in every way...... so I wish the best for him because I know what sepsis can do to a body so if you ever get an infection the first thing you need to do is go get something taken care of do not let it get infected and sepsis kicks in, now you've got problems

[@CaseyKCRichards]

Its who wins not who you hate . Ian all day long ❤

[@wasuptho]

I was pulling for him until he said he didn't bring his power ranger uniform

[@IshyVideos]

I hate Ian but he had very good timing and distance control. If he can disrupt Ian's ryhthm, which his unorthodox style very much can, it's over, Johnny. It's over!!

[@theyondak6090]

WORLD TITLE GEOFF NEAL AND BELAL WILL ''BRING SOME NUMBERS'' that was so sad to hear XD

I hate how Garry handled every other thing but how is wearing someone's mugshot worse than someone getting arrested for drunk driving in the first place? Only one of these actions puts innocent people's lives at risk.

More views than any other man on the card!!!

[@Pat_OnTheBooty]

How do people plan to come for a tittle shot after coming off lost to an undefeated fighter and if they don’t win this fight then they will be almost 3 people in the division that haven’t even lost lol

[@Pat_OnTheBooty]

And Ayee I wanna see Neal beat Ian but I’m just saying ufc math is weird lol

[@johndiengdoh4332]

Pat....... Ranking is important It is not weird..... If undefeated fighter fight cans it is Diffrent between fighting at the ranking level....

[@Pat_OnTheBooty]

@@johndiengdoh4332 that’s true also but even if he beat Ian he’s still a worst rank then Neal so idk how that helps him get to a belt

Ian doesn't know how bad his screwed himself what's the Antics that he did...... I really didn't like the guy at the beginning but I really don't like him now..... specially try to bring some ice personal life it's everybody else's world that's just not cool and he's going to pay for it Saturday
