Scheduled for UFC 305
O'Neill will fight Tereza Bleda at UFC 305 on Aug. 17, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
The Scottish flyweight will get the chance to get her first win since 2022 after losing by unanimous decision to Jennifer Maia last March and more recently being submitted by Ariane da Silva in December of 2023. O'Neill will take on a less experienced Bleda who sports a 1-1 record, though both women will make their 2024 debut as they enter the octagon in August.

Struggles continue in Vegas
O'Neill lost to Ariane Lipski via submission (armbar) at 1:18 of Round 2 at UFC 296 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Outside of a few effective low kicks, O'Neill showed next to nothing in a fight she entered as a -175 favorite. She struggled mightily in the striking exchanges between the two women and was unable to get the fight to the mat whenever she found herself in trouble. This was a highly concerning performance on multiple fronts. O'Neill hasn't looked the same since returning from a torn ACL this past March, and she now finds herself in the midst of a two-fight losing streak (and in a whole heap of trouble moving forward). On a slightly more positive note, Casey turned just 27 years of age this past October and is currently the only Australian female fighter on the UFC roster, so she probably has a bit more wiggle room than most.
