One of the biggest problems the UFC Welterweight division suffers from is the stagnant nature of the division’s finest. Most top fighters tend to stay inactive for as long as they can and only try to fight among themselves. Geoff Neal has gone through a hard-fought road to reach high ranks in this division and will be taking on upcoming prodigy Shavkat Rakhmonov in a rebooked match.
Geoff had his debut UFC fight back in February 2018 against Brian ‘Mantis’ Camozzi on the Cerrone vs Medeiros fight card. He started out with a band by picking up a 5-fight win streak defeating killers like Brian Camozzi, Frank ‘The Crank’ Camacho, Belal ‘Remember the Name’ Muhammad, Niko ‘The Hybrid’ Price, and ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry.
While Geoff suffered a 2-fight losing spree against Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson and Neil ‘The Haitian sensation’ Magny, he seems to be back in winning form after defeating Santiago Ponzinibbio and Vicente Luque. Neal has basically fought the best of the best in the division and is now taking a huge risk against a prospect like Shavkat ‘Nomad’ Rakhmonov.
UFC tends to reward any high-ranked fighter nicely for taking on tough challenges and for a stacked division like Welterweight, that number should only go higher. Let us discuss his career earnings through salary, purse, payouts, bonuses, incentive pay, sponsorship, and overall net worth.
Before we begin, here are some important things to keep in mind. UFC maintains tight privacy on athlete salaries, but we can still estimate each fighter’s earnings based on their prior matches, our UFC insider data, numerous news outlets, authors, and Nevada State Athletic Commission data.
Neal’s salary, win bonus, incentive pay/sponsorships, and performance bonus/PPV revenue from his upcoming fight against Shavkat Rakhmonov is yet to be released. Hence, you can check back here for updates. With all that out of the way, let’s begin.

What is Geoff Neal net worth in 2023?
Geoff neal’s net worth is expected to be somewhere between $1-$2 million and is expected to take a significant bump if he manages to stop the undefeated Shavkat. A victory will also open up opportunities for new and better sponsorship/endorsement opportunities.
Other than the UFC, Neal has also fought in LFA, XKO, Rumble Times Promotions, Legacy FC, Enemy of the State, Blood & Glory, Rocks Xtreme MMA, Next level Fighting, and Oklahoma MMA. The salary numbers during his pre-UFC period are extremely difficult to come by so we shall not be adding to his total income.
The old guard in the 170 lb division needs to go and ‘Handz of Steel’ can be a frontrunner to become a top 5 ranked fighter. Rakhmonov is not a small task by any means but Geoff will look to hit the jackpot on the main card of UFC 285.
