A intriguing welterweight duel between Neil Magny and Geoff Neal is in the works for an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on Aug. 29.

ESPN was first to report the booking. Though a location has not been formally announced, the event is expected to take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

After not competing at all in 2019, Magny has posted a 2-0 record in UFC competition this year. Magny outpointed Jingliang Li at UFC 248, and then the Elevation Fight Team representative returned to take a unanimous verdict against Anthony Rocco Martin at UFC 250 on June 6. Magny has won four of his last five promotional appearances.

Neal, meanwhile, has emerged as one of the top prospects in the welterweight division. The Dana White’s Contender Series alum has won five consecutive bouts in the Octagon, finishing all but one of those triumphs inside the distance. Most recently, the Fortis MMA product scored a 90-second TKO of Mike Perry at UFC 245.
