Casey O’Neill was thrilled to get her first UFC victory in the books. Just don’t ask her to give you a detailed play-by-play.
The 23-year-old flyweight needed a little less than two rounds to put away a spirited Shana Dobson this past Saturday at UFC Vegas 19, finishing the fight with ground-and-pound to keep her pro record at a perfect 6-0. It was the first UFC fight for O’Neill after being signed off of the Contender Series in September.
With no fans in attendance at UFC APEX, O’Neill recalls her UFC debut being a strange experience, one that she barely consciously registered while she was inside the octagon.
