Report: Women's flyweight clash booked for UFC 331
· Yahoo Sports
A women's flyweight bout in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship has reportedly been added to the
UFC
331 lineup.
Casey O'Neill is slated to meet Eduarda Moura at the Sept. 19 event, which takes place at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
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.
