She’s just everywhere at the moment, isn’t she?
The infamous dance moves of Australian Olympic breaker Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn recently made their way onto America’s The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and now they’ve spread to UFC 305.
Australian fighter Casey O’Neill appeared emotional as she was announced as the winner of her women’s flyweight bout with Luana Santos by a unanimous decision on Sunday.

But just moments after her arm was lifted in the air, she took her celebration in a direction no one was expecting.
O’Neill dropped to the floor and imitated one of the moves Raygun has made popular for all the wrong reasons.
It’s hard to even describe the move without butchering the English language, but the Aussie fighter followed it up by getting back to her feet and doing Raygun’s kangaroo hop.
She didn’t go as far as to put ‘the sprinkler’ move on show, as Raygun did, but it was an amusing homage nonetheless.
Raygun became an instant viral sensation after her Olympic performance, for which she earned zero points in any of her round-robin battles.
But things became sour when the 36-year-old breaking academic was subjected to intense hate and vitriol from critics.
Many questioned whether she was trying at all, or if it was a joke.
She later hit back at the critics in an emotional video, saying she poured her heart and soul into the performance.
“I didn’t realise that that would also open the door to so much hate, which has frankly been pretty devastating,” she said in a video statement.
“I went out there and I had fun, I did take it very seriously.
“I worked my butt off preparing for the Olympics and I gave my all, truly.
“I am honoured to have been a part of the Australian Olympic team and to be part of breakings Olympic debut.”
She also urged everyone to “stop harassing” her family, friends, and the Australian breaking and the broader street dance community.
“Everyone has been through a lot as a result of this so I ask you to still respect their privacy,” she said.
