UFC 308 Prelims: Geoff Neal Bowls Over Injured Rafael dos Anjos in Abu Dhabi

Geoff Neal probably left the cage with a bittersweet taste in his mouth.

Referee Mark Smith waved it off 1:30 into Round 1, with dos Anos clutching at his left leg on his 40th birthdayNeal was the aggressor from the start. He dropped the Nova Uniao star with a crisp one-two and even delivered a surprise takedown, though he chose to disengage and stand on both occasions. Soon after, another left hand clanged off the side of dos Anjos’ head, his knee buckling beneath him in an anticlimactic fight-ending sequence.

The 32-year-old Rebecki blasted the Team Alpha Male export with a series of overhand lefts in the first round that resulted in a grotesque hematoma that all but swelled Orolbai’s right eye shut. The cageside physician examined the damage before giving him the go-ahead to continue. Orolbai rebounded in the middle stanza, where he upped the pressure and benefitted from an inadvertent clash of heads that resulted in a cut to his counterpart’s right brow.
