Priscila “Zombie Girl” Cachoeira (10-4 MMA, 2-4 UFC)

Flyweight (125lbs.): 2-4 (UFC), Missed weight 1x in UFC

Priscila Cachoeira has had an incredibly challenging UFC career thus far as she was pitted against Valentia Shevchenko as a promotional newcomer.

Priscila has fought at 135lbs outside of the UFC, back in 2017.

Cachoeira is a pretty good sized flyweight, standing at 5’7″ tall and possessing a 65″ reach.

Now 33-years old, Cachoeira has spent the entirety of her career with the UFC in the flyweight division. Priscila has only missed weight one time with the organization, but it came in her most recent fight.

Cachoeira weighed in at 129lbs for the bout, (which was subsequently changed to a 129lb catchweight bout) and was finished by her opponent Gillian Robertson the following day.

Priscila will definitely be a fighter to watch on the scale as well as when she makes it to the octagon at UFC Vegas 49. Especially after her controversy last time out.
