10 Wild MMA Fights That You Need To Watch In December
5. Mike Perry Vs. Geoff Neal - UFC 245
If you've been following this preview guide for the last few months, you'll notice that we've been quite high on surging welterweight Geoff Neal. The 12-2 fighter has looked sensational since coming to the UFC, using his powerful and precise striking to finish three of his four opponents in the Octagon.
His last opponent, Niko Price, is an unorthodox, wild fighter who has knocked out a number of fighters. However, Neal managed to weather the storm and eventually finish him with strikes. It was a professional performance and he'll need a similar approach when he does battle with the always violent Mike Perry.
Perry was extremely reckless during the early portion of his career and while that led to exciting fights and impressive wins against lesser fighters, when he stepped up against the elite he was easily found out. However, he's improved and matured as a mixed martial artist since those early days and is more measured in his approach, yet still maintains the sort of savagery that got him to the dance.
