Casey O’Neill looks to rediscover winning momentum against
Eduarda Moura
Leo Guimaraes was the first to report the
flyweight clash between Moura and O’Neill.
O’Neill (11-2) enjoyed a perfect start to her UFC run, earning four
consecutive victories to establish herself as one of the division’s
brightest prospects. However, the Australian-Scottish standout then
suffered back-to-back losses against Jennifer
Maia and Ariane
Lipski da Silva before returning to form with consecutive wins
over Luana
Santos and Gabriella
Fernandes.
Notably, O’Neill’s first-round knockout victory over Fernandes in
March marked her first appearance following a lengthy Octagon
hiatus that nearly lasted two years.
Meanwhile, Moura (12-2) has endured a mixed start in the promotion.
The Brazilian owns a 3-2 UFC record and is coming off a unanimous
decision loss to Cong Wang in
February. The
Dana White’s Contender Series alum will be eager to get back in
the win column at UFC 331.
