UFC 305 Casey O'Neill Raygun

Casey O’Neill ended her two-fight skid with a unanimous decision victory over Luana Santos at UFC 305. After the fight, she unleashed some epic breakdancing moves in homage to Raygun, the viral breakdancing sensation from the 2024 Olympics.

You might be wondering: “Who the f*** is Raygun?” Well, Raygun was the notoriously bad female breakdancer in the green and yellow jumpsuit who participated in the 2024 Olympics. You know, the one who performed so comically bad that they became an immediate overnight sensation?

Casey O’Neill must be quite the fan or have a rad sense of humor because she decided to pay some homage to the Australian breakdancer after her unanimous decision victory at UFC 305.

During the UFC 305 post-fight press conference, a reporter asked O’Neill how she would rate her post-fight victory dance. O’Neill responded, feeling pretty great about her sick breakdancing moves: “I give that about a 10. I think I did better than she (Raygun) did in the Olympics.”

“I think if they (the Olympic committee),” She continued. “Do bring it (breakdancing) back in 2028, I think I might need to take an MMA hiatus and get a gold medal.”

Now 5-2 in the UFC, it is unclear what may be next for the young Australian MMA fighter. This latest victory definitely improves her stock, and fans can expect her to continue the climb to one day challenging for a UFC title.

Raygun, the Australian breakdancer, has become a twisted combination of Internet sensation and a laughingstock. Some have criticized her intensely for making a mockery of breakdancing, while others have become infatuated with her story. Regardless, she has provided a funny distraction from the world’s more serious issues.

Ariane Lipski lands brutal armbar win over Casey O'Neill at UFC 296

Likely set to snatch the number twelve rank from opponent Casey O’Neill in the new rankings update next week, Brazilian contender, Ariane Lipski turned in a stunning victory tonight on the late preliminary card of UFC 296 — submitting the highly-touted contender with a second round armbar in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Lipski, a former KSW flyweight champion, turned in her third consecutive victory with tonight’s win over touted challenger, O’Neill — following back-to-back submission wins over both JJ Aldrich, and Melissa Gatto.

Dominating the opening round of her 125 pound clash with O’Neill, in the second round, Curitiba native, Lipski landed just her second armbar win over the course of her professional career, taking the former down, and eventually scooting for an armbar attempt.

Bellying down during the scramble, Lipski forced an eventual tap, compiling the misery on O’Neill — who has now lost two on the bounce, following a prior decision loss to Lipski’s compatriot, former title challenger, Jennifer Maia.

Casey O'Neill UFC 286

Undefeated UFC flyweight prospect, Casey O’Neill is set for her first Octagon outing in over a year after suffering a debilitating leg injury, as she books a UFC 286 return at The O2 Arena on March 18. against one-time flyweight title challenger, Jennifer Maia. 

O’Neill, the current #11 ranked flyweight contender, has yet to return to active competition since February of last year, where she retired the veteran contender, Roxanne Modafferi in a unanimous decision effort at UFC 271. 

Suffering a brutal ACL tear ahead of a scheduled July return last year, Casey O’Neill, who boasts an undefeated 9-0 professional record was booked to fight former title challenger, Jessica Eye, however, was forced to withdraw from the fight due to injury.

And according to an initial report from Dama de Ferro MMA on Twitter, Casey O’Neill and Jennifer Maia are expected to clash at UFC 286 in London, however, official contracts are yet to be signed by the pair. 

Scottish-born Australian contender, O’Neill, who plys her trade at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas, debuted in the UFC back in February 2021, defeating Shana Dobson in a second round TKO win.

Returning to the Octagon in June of that year, O’Neill submitted Lara Procopio, before then finishing Antonina Shevchenko – the elder sister of division champion, Valentina Shevchenko with strikes. 

For Curitiba veteran, Maia, the former Invicta FC flyweight champion boasts a 2-2 record since her title challenge loss to Shevchenko three years ago. 

In the time since, Maia defeated both Jessica Eye, and most recently, Maryna Moroz, snapping a run of back-to-back defeats against both Katlyn Chookagian, and Manon Fiorot. Maia currently holds the #8 rank in the official UFC flyweight pile.

UFC 286 takes place on March 18. from The O2 Arena in London, England – with an official headlining bout yet to be determined by the organization.
