Geoff Neal found a profitable way to keep up the pace while resting in preparation to face Carlos Prates at UFC 319, scheduled for next Saturday (16). Originally scheduled to face the Brazilian at UFC 314 , the American left the card due to injury, but, during his recovery and the new camp, he maintained his routine as a waiter.
In an interview with 'Home of Fight', he explained that the activity guarantees extra income, helps him maintain his physical shape and keeps him away from problems outside the octagon.
"It's good money, and it also helps burn calories. It's like active rest. It keeps me out of trouble. It's like... it's beneficial, you know?" he said.
Geoff Neal predicts a one-round war against Carlos Prates at UFC 319
Known for his knockout power, Neal has 10 knockouts under his belt, and this time, he expects it to be no different. He candidly admitted that he hopes to end the fight in the first round and emphasized the importance of maintaining defense to avoid surprises.
“I really feel like it’s going to be a one-round fight. That’s my goal. Of course, I’m training for three rounds, but actually I’m training for a one-round fight. There’s no reason for this fight to go beyond the first round… I see myself knocking him out in the first round. It probably won’t happen early on, but it will probably be in the last few minutes, maybe three minutes,” Geoff Neal emphasized.
With impressive victories over Vicente Luque and Rafael dos Anjos on his record, Geoff Neal arrives at UFC 319 in high spirits and with a positive record against Brazilian opponents.
