Ian Garry returns at UFC 292 to face Geoff Neal in Boston

Irish superstar Ian Garry is shipping up to Boston as he makes his return to the Octagon against Geoff Neal on August 19 at UFC 292.

The 25-year-old boasts a perfect professional record of 12 wins from 12 fights with seven of those victories coming by way of knockout.

Two of those knockouts have come in 2023, with Garry putting Song Kenan and Daniel Rodriguez to sleep inside the Octagon this year, the latter of those wins earning Garry a performance of the night bonus.

Hoping to put an end to the hype train backing the Irishman is Geoff Neal. The 32-year-old Texan made his debut on the amateur scene in 2010 before being signed up to the UFC by Dana White five years ago.

The number eight ranked welterweight in the UFC holds wins over Mike Perry and Vicente Luque and is undoubtedly a step up in class of opponent for Garry.

Portmarnock native Garry made his debut for the promotion in 2021 memorably knocking out Jordan Williams late in the first round.

The 25-year-old has earned plenty of fans for his spectacular displays inside the Octagon, with The Notorious Conor McGregor even labelling him a future UFC champion.
