Casey O’Neill Celebrates UFC 305 Win With Raygun Dance
Casey O’Neill celebrated her unanimous-decision win over Luana Santos at UFC 305 with a dance inspired by Australian Olympic breaker Rachael “Raygun” Gunn. O’Neill’s playful imitation drew attention after the Perth crowd watched her return to the win column.
A celebration after the decision
O’Neill outworked Santos over three rounds to earn the judges’ unanimous decision on the UFC 305 prelims. The victory ended a two-fight losing streak. After the result was announced, she mimicked a few recognizable movements from Gunn’s Olympic breaking routine, including floor work and a hopping motion.
Gunn, competing as Raygun, had become a widely discussed figure during the Paris 2024 Games, where breaking made its Olympic debut. O’Neill’s routine was a quick pop-culture reference rather than a formal performance, and the fighter joked afterward that she had done better than the Olympian.
Back to winning
The light-hearted moment followed an important result for O’Neill. She had been out of the win column for two fights and needed a strong showing against Santos to reset her momentum in the flyweight division. Her win came on home soil in Perth, adding to the crowd’s reaction to the celebration.
O’Neill’s post-fight dance quickly became a shareable clip, connecting a UFC result to one of the Summer Olympics’ most talked-about performances. The bout itself, however, was decided by her work across three rounds, not the celebration afterward.
