“I almost died”- UFC welterweight Geoff Neal is recovering from unforeseen health scare

UFC welterweight Geoff Neal was scheduled to fight later this month but due to a recent health scare, the fight was called off.

According to Neal, a recent health scare had him battling for his life.

Neal posted a message on social media. He offered a frightening description of his situation and said he “almost died.”

These past few week have been crazy, and that’s putting it lightly. It’s really hard to try to find an eloquent way to say “I almost died.” So screw it.. I almost died…. This really put alot of things into perspective for me. Never did I ever think I would be hooked up to a dialysis machine before my 30s. Everything was going well for me. Was training everyday, making money at work, just signed a contract for a huge fight, then BOOM, life hit me with a check hook. I’m just glad to be home after having to spend 1 week in the ICU. Stay healthy out there y’all and listen to your body at all times. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Doctors have still not specifically identified the issue with Neal’s health. But he is out of the ICU now and recovering.

There is no timeline on when Neal will return to the octagon. His current focus is on recovery and is very grateful the situation did not claim his life.
