Casey O'Neill vs. Antonina Shevchenko added to UFC Fight Night 192 on Oct. 2

Casey O'Neill will look to continue her rise in the flyweight division when she takes on a seasoned striker.

O’Neill (7-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) meets Antonina Shevchenko (9-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 192, which takes place Oct. 2 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The card streams live on ESPN+.

A person with knowledge of the matchup confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous because the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. MMA DNA was first to report the news.

Unbeaten in her pro MMA career, 23-year-old O’Neill has kicked off her UFC tenure with a bang, picking up two straight finishes over Shana Dobson, and most recently a third-round submission of Lara Procopio at UFC on ESPN 25 in June.

Since punching her ticket to the UFC through Dana White’s Contender Series in 2018, Shevchenko has alternated wins and losses. After picking up a second-round TKO of Ariane Lipski at UFC 255, Shevchenko was submitted by Andrea Lee in her past outing at UFC 262 in May.
