UFC flyweight Priscila Cachoeira is set to meet Ji Yeon Kim at tomorrow’s UFC Vegas 49. The Brazilian lost her previous bout, to Gillian Robertson, by rear naked choke at UFC 269 in December.
Robertson’s win over Cachoeira has been somewhat overshadowed by the actions the Brazilian took during the fight. While Cachoeira was caught in the fight-ending choke she clearly attempted to claw at Robertson’s eyes.
Thankfully, Cachoeira’s attempts did not injury Robertson or affect the outcome of the fight.
Cachoeira faced a wave of criticism for her attempted eye gouges, from fans, media and fighters.
