Neal And Curtis Set For UFC Dallas Clash

Geoff Neal and Chris Curtis are reportedly set to meet at UFC Dallas on Jan. 16 at American Airlines Center, according to Marcel Dorff.

Neal has won just once in his last five appearances, a 2024 stoppage over Rafael dos Anjos that came via injury. The 34-year-old was scheduled to face Chidi Njokuani at UFC 330 this past August but withdrew due to an undisclosed injury. He now stands 16-8 in his career.

Curtis Looks To Halt Slide At Welterweight

Curtis arrives on a 1-3 run, most recently dropping a decision to Myktykbek Orolbai. The 38-year-old has compiled a 32-13 record with one no contest across regional and UFC competition.

The pairing marks the promotion's first event of 2027. Both fighters need a win to stay relevant in a crowded welterweight division.
