Australian UFC 305 fighter Casey O'Neill celebrated her win in Perth by impersonating compatriot Rachael 'Raygun' Gunn who has been widely mocked following her Olympic breakdancing routine.

Casey O'Neill overcame Luana Santos of Brazil in her UFC 305 bout at Perth's RAC Arena on Sunday and she celebrated her win by pulling out some of Raygun's headline-making moves.

After the unanimous decision victory was announced the 26-year-old burst into tears before falling to the mat and impersonating two of Gunn's now iconic manoeuvres.



The 36-year-old Olympic breakdancer provided a surprising iconic moment at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games that will forever go down in Olympic history when she performed a series of bizarre dance moves in the breakdancing event.

According to Gunn, who goes by Raygun in breaking competitions, she anticipated not being able to compete with the other breakdancing talent and so opted for more leftfield moves which unfortunately inspired few and she finished in last place losing every one of her three round-robin bouts 2-0 for a combined score of 54-0.

Her performances included several dance moves that were widely mocked on social media and a Change.org petition calling for her along with Australia's Olympic chef de mission Anna Meares to apologise received more than 50,000 signatures before it was slammed by The Australian Olympic Committee for bullying and removed.

Rachel Gunn then took to social media to release a statement thanking fans for support but ultimately expressing surprise that her performance in the breaking Olympic debut "opened the door to so much hate" calling it "franking pretty devastating" and asking for privacy for her, her family, and her friends.



When asked how she rated her performance of Raygun post-fight, O'Neill said 'I give that a 10. I think I did better than she did in the Olympics. I think if they do bring it back for 2028 I might need to take an MMA hiatus and go get a gold medal."
