Long fighters present leg kicking opportunities. Neal seems to be looking to exploit that. #UFC298

I got Machado Garry up by 2. First was crazy close. Think Ian did a bit more in the second. Knee is beautiful.

Ian Garry continuing to ask for a nice lil glove touch with Neal in the middle of the fight. Crowd hates it. His coach hates it. Good for nothing. #UFC298

Every round was super close, cards are gonna be all over the place. I think Neal won 29-28. Feels weird that Rogan is so sure of a Garry win
