Undefeated  KCFC's rising star Ian Machado Garry is sending a clear message to his upcoming opponent Geoff Neal ahead of their highly anticipated matchup at UFC 292.

Machado Garry, boasting an impressive record of 12-0 in MMA and a perfect 5-0 in the UFC, is set to clash with Neal (15-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) on August 19 at the TD Garden in Boston. With the main card airing on pay-per-view, fight fans can expect an electrifying showdown between these two skilled fighters.

Neal enters the bout coming off a submission loss to Machado Garry's teammate, Shavkat Rakhmonov, at UFC 285 in March. Taking note of his opponent's recent defeats, Machado Garry believes his own attributes, particularly his length, will present significant challenges for Neal.

In an interview with Cageside Press, Machado Garry confidently stated, "Everybody says the same thing when they fight me. I think I'm a different animal to what he's faced before. I hit harder than what he's faced before. He's not seen anybody like me. I couldn't care less what they say. The truth is, every single one of them has never faced somebody like me."

Highlighting Neal's previous struggles against fighters with a similar physical build, Machado Garry emphasized, "Geoff Neal has fought guys that are long and tall, and he's lost to all three of them. He lost to (Neil) Magny, he lost to 'Wonderboy' (Thompson), he lost to Shavkat. And I fight very differently to all three of them. I'm younger, I'm faster, I'm fitter, I'm more dynamic."

Machado Garry's recent performances showcase his finishing prowess. With a Round 3 victory over Song Kenan and a Round 1 stoppage against Daniel Rodriguez, he is looking to continue his streak by predicting a knockout of Neal in the middle of their upcoming bout.

Confidently asserting his strategy, Machado Garry declared, "I'm going to be so far out that his little short arse couldn't hit me. I'm going to be kicking him from every single angle, and I'm going to show him that I am just that much better than everybody he's ever faced. The way I move, the way I can set you up is just different. And look, I plan on putting him to sleep in the second round."

With such bold statements, fight fans can expect an action-packed showdown when Machado Garry and Neal step into the octagon. Will Machado Garry's unbeaten record and confidence be enough to overcome Neal's resilience and experience?

Stay tuned for the highly-anticipated UFC 292 event on August 19, and don't miss this explosive clash between two elite athletes.
