Injured knee, no money, lessons learned: Priscila Cachoeira reflects on year after Valentina Shevchenko loss

“Tell me about it, man… I missed this so much.”

A heavy-breathing Priscila Cachoeira answers the phone moments after finishing her last training session of the day. It is her first session of 2019 at Parana Vale Tudo in Niteroi, Brazil, and she has a smile on her face. After a turbulent year in 2018, she’s finally inching closer to being 100-percent healthy again, and is focused on her next battle in the Octagon.

Cachoeira is still remembered as the unfortunate woman who got destroyed by Valentina Shevchenko in the co-main event of UFC Belem in February 2018.
