LONDON – Casey O’Neill is happy to see movement in the women’s flyweight division. Ater Alexa Grasso dethroned longtime flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 285, the division finally has a new titleholder, which O’Neill (9-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) thinks opens the doors for everyone else. “I thought it was very exciting,” O’Neill said at Wednesday’s UFC 286 media day. “I’m happy for Alexa. She’s a super nice person and that was a super awesome win, the way that she finished her, and it just makes the division more exciting – more eyes on the division, and the rematch is going to be awesome. “I think that it’s at that stage now after the growth and development where everyone’s catching up to the champion, and everyone just has to be better, and I think that we all are.
