Casey O’Neil Wins at UFC Fight Night: Jung vs Ige 🥋🤼‍♀️

Rising Australian MMA star – ‘King’ Casey O’Neil – kept her unbeaten record with a submission win over Brazil’s Lara Procopio.

O’Neil won the Flyweight (125lb) bout with a third round, rear naked choke. Procopio is a Brazilian Ju-Jitsu Black Belt and this was only her second loss (from 7 fights), her first by submission.

For Casey O’Neill it was her second victory in UFC after her debut in against Shauna Dobson in February this year. It was a fantastic come back from the 23 year old Aussie prospect after she likely lost the first round. She then starting taking control in the second round with displaying her high level grappling skills.

Well done Casey! You’re making Australia proud!!

Here at In2MMA we are pumped to see an Aussie making a name for herself in the world’s biggest promotion! I can’t wait to see her make her next appearance in the UFC Octagon.

Who will the undefeated prospect take on next? I’d like to say right now that I think this is (at the very least) a future Flyweight Title Contender! Perhaps future world champion in the making?
