Uros “The Doctor” Medic wrote a prescription Geoff Neal couldn’t handle last night (Sat., Feb. 21, 2026) at UFC Houston LIVE on Paramount+ from inside Toyota Center in Houston, Tex., turning in a massive one-punch knockout early in the first round.
Despite coming off a brutal knockout loss to Carlos Prates his last time out, Neal was still a sizeable betting favorite over Medic heading into UFC’s return to “H-Town.” Neal has certainly fought the better competition throughout his UFC tenure, but Medic carried a 100% finish rate and was coming off back-to-back knockout wins. So even though the oddsmakers saw Neal as the go-to pick this co-main event clash was going to be closer than most expected.
Not only did Medic prove his worth, but he only needed 79 seconds to launch a perfectly-timed left hook that connected flush and instantly rendered Neal unconscious. Neal toppled to the canvas like a falling redwood and Medic walked off with one of the best knockouts 2026 will produce.
Check out the finish below:
