Geoff Neal is currently ranked no. 12 at welterweight. He is still hovering around the edge of the top tier and is still very much in the mix. He’s booked to fight Uros Medic at UFC Fight Night 267 on February 21, after Kevin Holland withdrew from their planned rematch. It’s a reminder of where Neal sits in the division: not a headliner every time, but rarely an easy out for anyone.

That middle-ground reality matters when you talk money. Neal isn’t stacking seven-figure paydays, but he’s built a steady UFC living through bonuses, consistency, and brand deals. So what does that look like in 2026 for ‘Handz of Steel’? Let’s break it down.
Geoff Neal’s 2026 net worth and endorsements
There’s no fresh, official number for Neal’s net worth in early 2026. The most cited estimate, from 2024, pegged him at roughly $1.5 million. That figure likely moved a bit since then, but not dramatically. Neal hasn’t had the title fights or PPV points that create massive jumps.
Neal’s value comes from reliability. He’s 16–7 as a pro and has earned two Performance of the Night awards and a Fight of the Night bonus. These signal the kind of fighter he is: when he shows up, the UFC knows the crowd might get something memorable. That reputation helps with brand relationships, even if it doesn’t turn him into a mainstream star.

On the endorsement side, Neal has worked with brands like ICON Meals, Blake, Full Violence, Fortis MMA, SUPERX, and Complex Culture LLC. These aren’t mega-celebrity deals, but they fit the profile of a fighter who trains full-time, lives in Dallas, and stays tied to his gym ecosystem. Now, let’s look at how the UFC pay structure feeds into that.
Geoff Neal’s UFC earnings and salary
Neal’s disclosed UFC pay shows how bonuses can change the math of a night. In his fight against Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 285, his base salary was $63,000. On paper, that’s modest. But the fight earned Fight of the Night, adding $50,000, plus about $6,000 in sponsorship money. That pushes the total to roughly $119,000 for one appearance, even in a loss.
A list compiled using BetMGM and Tapology data placed him 14th in total compensation at $222,000. Compare that to the welterweight division’s top earners: Kamaru Usman at $5.8 million, Colby Covington at $3.6 million. The gap is massive. But that gap also reflects exposure.
With UFC Fight Night 267 around the corner, Neal has another chance to add to his fortune. A highlight-reel moment against Uros Medic could mean another Performance bonus. A gritty war could mean another Fight of the Night. At this stage of his career, those swings matter as much financially as they do for momentum.
