An exciting welterweight bout between Stephen Thompson and Geoff Neal is in the works.
That’s according to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto who reported Wednesday that the UFC was targeting the matchup for the upcoming Fight Night event on December 19 in Las Vegas.
“Per sources, UFC targeting a welterweight matchup between Stephen Thompson (@WonderboyMMA) and Geoff Neal (@handzofsteelmma) for UFC Fight Night on Dec. 19 in Las Vegas.”
That card will notably be headlined by another planned welterweight bout between Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev. Thompson vs. Neal is expected to serve as the co-main event.
Thompson hasn’t competed since a unanimous decision win over Vicente Luque at UFC 244 last November. That victory snapped a two-fight losing streak for the former title challenger who will be seeking to climb the ranks further.
As for Neal, this will be his biggest opponent yet both in terms of name and ranking. He last competed at UFC 244 as well when he became the first person to finish Mike Perry via TKO.
The unbeaten 30-year-old — currently on a seven-fight winning streak — was later booked to face Neil Magny until he was forced out due to health concerns.

Geoff Neal’s longtime coach Sayif Saud explained what led to the welterweight contender being forced on the sidelines.
Neal was set to face Neil Magny at the UFC’s upcoming August 29 event. However, he revealed on Sunday that he had pulled out of the fight after suffering an unknown medical condition that nearly led him on the brink of death.
And according to Saud, it all started earlier this month when Neal was suffering from an unknown infection that resulted in him falling into critical condition last week.
“For two days, we didn’t know if he was gonna make it,” Saud told ESPN. “He went to the emergency room on Sunday [Aug. 2], he was septic by the time he got there. I spoke to the nurse and she says, ‘We need to take him to ICU right now, he’s in critical condition.’ That’s when my heart really sank.
“They said his white blood cell count was 20,000, when it’s supposed to be 12,000. His body was fighting something, but they didn’t know what it was. They still don’t.”
It wasn’t the flu or COVID-19 either as Neal tested negative for both. However, physicians informed Saud that Neal’s heart was failing at one point which is why he was placed on dialysis.
He is on his way to recovering now, however.
Neal is regarded by many to be a future title contender as he is currently 5-0 with the UFC and coming off a first-round TKO win over Mike Perry in December last year.
He was struggling to land a ranked opponent ever since, so it will come as a huge blow that he won’t be fighting Magny anymore. However, his health is more important at this point so hopefully he has a speedy and full recovery.
