Casey O’Neill scored her first finish in just under five years at UFC Seattle, needing just over three minutes to put away Gabriella Fernandes in their prelim bout.
O’Neill came out aggressive from the get-go, bringing her offense in early. Fernandes looked for big shots herself as well, including a head kick that she landed, but she frequently struggled with range, as O’Neill worked distance well.
A right hand wobbled Fernandes, and O’Neill swarmed her with striking flurries en route to scoring a TKO.
