On the back of her most recent outing, Eternal women’s welterweight strawweight weight champion ‘King’ Casey O’Neill has put pen to paper and signed for the UFC.
The 23-year-old revealed the signing via her social media account earlier today.
It’s been a massive turnaround for O’Neill who started her amateur career with back-to-back losses but managed to turn that around to win ten on the trot, five in the professional ranks.
