The fight between Geoff Neal and Shavkat Rakhmonov is back on.
The welterweight contenders will square off at UFC 285 on March 4 in Las Vegas, sources told ESPN's Brett Okamoto.
They were originally scheduled to meet at UFC Fight Night on Jan. 14, but Neal pulled out due to an undisclosed injury.
Neal is looking to improve his winning streak to three following marquee wins over Vicente Luque and Santiago Ponzinibbio in 2022 and 2021, respectively. His third-round stoppage of Luque last August was arguably the most significant of his career, as it placed him at No. 7 in the division.
Rakhmonov, one of the hottest rising stars at 170 pounds, is coming off a submission win over Neil Magny. The No. 10-ranked welterweight is 4-0 in the UFC and 16-0 as a professional.
UFC 285 doesn't yet have a main event.
