Courtney “Cast Iron” Casey (9-8 MMA, 5-7 UFC)

Strawweight (115lbs): 4-6 (UFC)

Flyweight (125lbs): 1-1 (UFC)

Courtney Casey is 5’7″ tall with a 67″ reach and is 33 years old. Casey began her career in the UFC in the strawweight weight class. Courtney was mediocre in the division, and while she never missed weight, she left more of herself on the scale than she would have liked to.

Courtney made the change to flyweight after losing to Cynthia Calvillo last year. Casey found immediate success, logging a finish earlier this year in her flyweight debut against Mara Romero Borella. However she lost her last fight, against Gillian Robertson, just a month later. Casey will look to improve her record to a winning one at 125lbs at UFC Vegas 12.
