Neal is 1-0 in the red gloves and white trunks fighting out of Denver, Colorado. Lugo is 1-0 in the blue gloves and black trunks, fighting out of Corpus Christi, Texas. Our referee for this fight is Jerin Valel.

Round 1: Lugo seems uninterested in a glove tap and tried to push Neal toward the outside, but Neal quickly closes the distance and puts him on the fence until Lugo shoves his way free at 0:33. Neal closes the distance again but Lugo puts him on the fence and throws a knee to the ribs. Neal breaks at 1:06. Leg kick for Neal. Lugo with a body kick. Two minutes gone. Neal misses with a couple of shots. Lugo lands a leg kick. Neal clinches up against the cage. They break, Neal hits an overhand right, Neal takes Lugo down and he pops right up. Neal throws a knee on the break and gets another takedown at 3:53, quickly moving to full mount. Valel shouts “Watch the fingers!” Neal tries to posture up but loses the mount and is in full guard. 10-9 Neal.

Round 2: Neal tags Lugo with a right hand almost immediately. Lugo tries to push Neal into the cage and drop levels. Valel yells at Lugo to get his fingers out of the cage and comes over to break his hand from it. Neal turns Lugo around as a result. Both men trade knees to the midsection as they momentarily break. They go back into the fence and Neal takes a low blow forcing Valel to call time. Valel tells the camera to turn away and turn off while Neal’s cup is adjusted, gives Lugo a stern warning to control his strikes, and restarts the bout with just over three minutes left in R2. Neal ducks down under Lugo’s strikes and bulls him into the fence. They spin free at 3:35 and Neal pops Lugo with a left. Lugo paws at the range with a left hand and a kick. Neal grabs Lugo from behind with his hands around the waist with short time and almost throws him to the ground. 10-9 Neal.

Round 3: Neal and Lugo trade strikes immediately. Neal lands a right hook and left jab that are both flush. He throws a solid right to the body at 0:31 and Lugo tried a Superman punch in response. Neal grabs a kick, throws an overhand right and takes Lugo to the ground in one fell swoop. He starts landing uncontested lefts to the head and goes for the mounted crucifix to make it even worse. Elbows, right hand hammerfists, and more pour down. Neal draws a “back of the head” warning. Lugo pushes off the fence with his feet and is able to get back up at 2:48. Neal keeps his hands locked around the waist and takes Lugo back down at 3:20. Right hands to the body. Two more warnings to “watch the fingers” for the fighters. Lugo gets back up at 4:41.
