When Lipski gets subs, they are all damn near dislocating finishes. Did it to Carolina, now O’Neil… violent indeed.

High level muay thai and improved takedown defense and ground game is definitely a recipe for some wins

Lipski seems to be constantly improving since her move to ATT and training with Amanda Nunes in her gym. However, I do think she needs to improve her cardio

Casey O’Neil is so slow, she was fighting so much slower then Lipski, it like a nightmare for Casey with how crazy the speed difference is

Seriously, after Lispki wiped the floor with O'Neill, Casey still shows arrogance and refuses the post-fight handshake.

So close to betting on O'Neill but sane thoughts prevailed. Thank f**k. Honestly thought she'd do well at one point, guess not.

Also,  nothing better then when a fighter rapidly improves,

Thought Lipski was a bum like a year ago, but now on a 3 fight win streak and look 50 time better
