Highlights! ‘King Casey’ Returns From Injury With Thunderous KO
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - MARCH 28: (R-L) Casey O'Neill of Scotland punches Gabriella Fernandes of Brazil in a flyweight fight during the UFC Fight Night event at Climate Pledge Arena on March 28, 2026 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) Casey O’Neill vs. Gabriella Fernandes squared off earlier tonight (Sat.
, Mar. 28, 2026) at UFC Seattle LIVE on Paramount+ from inside Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington. In her first fight since August 2024, O’Neill stormed out of the gate to secure a first-round knockout win.
Both O’Neill and Fernandes were throwing heat from the first bell. The difference, however, was that O’Neill was feinting and building her combinations, whereas Fernandes was committing hard to single shots. Subsequently, O’Neill was able to find her range first and start landing straight punches through the guard.
When Fernandes bit down on her mouthpiece and fired back, an O’Neill counter hook landed flush and rocked the Brazilian. O’Neill is well-known for her volume, and “King Casey” didn’t hold back! She unleashed an endless combination that knocked Santos against the fence and then ultimately floored him.
