Another fighter making sure that the flyweight division will remain in the headlines in 2022 is Casey O’Neill. Unbeaten in eight fights, O’Neill earned three of those victories in 2021, finishing Shana Dobson, Lara Procopio and Antonina Shevchenko while showing off a well-rounded game and a solid mean streak in the Octagon. Next up is veteran contender Roxanne Modafferi in early 2022, a win there might have O’Neill closing in on the Top 5 at 125 pounds.
