"Some scary sh*t right there" - Fans react as Geoff Neal thanks Ian Garry for making T-shirts with his mugshot 

Geoff Neal recently thanked Ian Garry for making T-shirts with Neal's mugshot on them, and the interaction caught fans off guard.

For context, ahead of the pair's originally scheduled clash at UFC 292, the Irish star proudly wore a T-shirt displaying a mugshot of Neal from a DUI arrest in 2021. The fight, however, didn't take place, and has since been rescheduled to be on the UFC 298 card on Saturday, Feb. 17.

During the face-off following the pre-fight press conference for their UFC 298 clash, Neal thanked Garry for the stunt, stating that it motivated him.
