RTÉ Sport was first to report the welterweight booking. UFC 292 takes place at TD Garden on Aug. 19 and is headlined by a bantamweight title tilt pitting Aljamain Sterling against Sean O’Malley.
A 25-year-old native of Dublin, Garry is undefeated in 12 bouts since beginning his professional tenure in 2019. The ex-Cage Warriors champion is 5-0 within the Las Vegas-based promotion, including a first-round technical knockout victory over Daniel Rodriguez in his last outing at UFC on ABC 4 on May 13. He’s finished seven of his career triumphs by knockout or technical knockout.
Neal had a two-bout winning streak snapped in his most recent Octagon appearance, when he suffered a third-round submission defeat to Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 285. Prior to that, “Handz of Steel” had earned back-to-back victories over Santiago Ponzinibbio and Vicente Luque. The Fortis MMA product is 7-3 in UFC competition and 15-5 as a professional overall.
