Priscila Cachoeira eyes rematch with Shevchenko after a few more UFC fights

After a one-sided submission loss to Valentina Schevchenko at UFC Belem in February, flyweight Priscila Cachoeira doesn’t want to spend too much time sidelined thinking about the defeat. However, as she nurses a knee injury suffered in the opening seconds of the fight, Priscila has no other choice but to deal with the aftermath of such a difficult Octagon debut.

For Cachoeira, the hardest part was going online to see what people talked about the fight and then having to watch it for herself.

“I couldn’t watch my fight, because I’d go online and see it being called ‘massacre’ or ‘beatdown,’” Cachoeira told MMAjunkie.
