"The UFC's reasoning seemed sound enough: Uros "The Doctor" Medic had never been to the judges, win or lose, in his career. Neal, meanwhile, was 1-3 in his last four, and looking to right the ship. He'd also revealed he'd been battling substance abuse during his career, often only sober for a few weeks before his fights, and had recently gotten his life back on course."
"The striking party was opened early in this one, with Medic taking the center of the octagon, landing body front kicks to the mid section of Geoff "Handz of Steel" Neal before a fiery exchange of hooks between the two power punchers. Trading in the pocket, Medic was the first to the dance, landing a beautiful left hook right on the temple of UFC veteran Geoff Neal; putting his lights out in the first round of the fight."
