UFC fighter Casey O’Neill is calling out the Olympians. Rachel “Raygon” Gunn — She beat the Aussie’s breakdance after her win at UFC 305…but it was more of a taunt than a tribute.
Casey defeated Luana Santos unanimous decision at UFC 305 in Perth, Australia – so, naturally, the Aussie boxer had to imitate her compatriot in celebrating… aka the most meme-worthy athlete at the Paris Olympics.

She dropped to the mat, lay on her side, and started doing Raygon’s twists… and even did her infamous kangaroo jump. Casey’s version is certainly hilarious, but only because she wasn’t competing in the Olympics when she did it.
Kathy gave her routine a 10 out of 10, later joking: “Just think, if they did bring [breaking] When I come back in 2028, I may need to take a break from MMA to get a gold medal.

Although Raygun became a viral sensation, all the ridicule online was directed at her. Late last week, she called it “pretty damaging” and asked trolls stop harassing her as well as her family and friends.
As for Casey’s Olympic dreams…sorry, the International Olympic Committee has said breakdancing won’t be an event when the Olympics kick off in Los Angeles in 2028.
