Ebanie Bridges' opponent flips finger at crowd following brutal defeat

Ebanie Bridges' rival Shannon O'Connell flipped the middle finger at the Leeds crowd after losing her world title effort on Saturday night.

O'Connell had a heated rivalry heading into her meeting with Bridges and there was no love lost between the pair by the time they stepped between the ropes together. The Two Australians had been going back-and-forth at the weigh-ins and the press conference, with O'Connell attempting to get into Bridges' head with a series of jibes.

However, on the night, Bridges showed the difference in class between the two, dropping her opponent in the third en route to a dominant stoppage in round eight. It was the Australian's first world title defence after winning the belt back in March in front of a crowd of her fans in her adopted home of Leeds.
