Overview
- O'Neill secured an armbar that forced Eduarda Moura to tap at 3:22 of round one at UFC 331 on Sept. 19 in Los Angeles, with referee Jason Herzog stopping the bout.
- Moura controlled the opening minutes with strikes, a takedown and an anaconda choke attempt before O'Neill escaped and used a bottom hip-elevation to flip Moura and finish with the armbar.
- O'Neill said after the fight that her left knee 'gave out' after a kick moments earlier, a condition she felt during the scramble before the submission.
- The win moves O'Neill to 12-2 overall and extends her winning streak to three, and she used the post-fight mic to call out top-10 flyweight Maycee Barber.
- Some outlets reported O'Neill received a $100,000 performance bonus for the submission but that detail has limited sourcing while the victory is broadly being hailed as one of the night's most spectacular finishes and a boost to her contender status.
