Casey O’Neill is the first to admit that she probably shouldn’t have been fighting against Jennifer Maia earlier this year at UFC 286 in London.
“I don’t think that my knee was 100% as good as I thought it was,” O’Neill said. “It’s fine, it is what it is. I took away to not put too much pressure on certain things, without getting too deep into all of those things. Mentally, I am a lot better than I was then.”

O’Neill suffered an ACL injury last year, putting her out of competition for 13 months before she returned at the O2 Arena against Maia.
