Priscila Cachoeira

Overview

Four of Priscila Cachoeira's five UFC wins came inside two rounds, and all four were knockouts. Her ten UFC losses tell a different story: five of them are submissions.

"Zombie Girl" is a Women's Bantamweight from Rio de Janeiro who trains out of Lioness Studio. Her UFC record is 5-10, within a 13-10-0 professional record across all promotions. She is not a champion, and she carries a four-fight losing streak into her next fight.

She is a knockout threat with a defense problem. That is the whole career in one line.

UFC Career

Cachoeira debuted in February 2018 against Valentina Shevchenko and was submitted in the second round. A run of two decision losses followed, to Molly McCann and Luana Carolina, and she started her UFC career 0-3.

The first win arrived in February 2020, a 40-second TKO of Shana Dobson. She followed it with a second-round TKO of Gina Mazany at UFC 262. That was her first UFC win streak, and it stopped at two when Gillian Robertson submitted her with one second left in round one.

She rebuilt in 2022. A unanimous decision over Ji Yeon Kim is her only UFC win that went the distance, and a 1:05 first-round TKO of Ariane da Silva followed in August. Then came two more submission losses, to Miranda Maverick in 2023 and Jasmine Jasudavicius in January 2024, both in round three.

Her most recent win is a first-round TKO of Josiane Nunes in March 2025, in 2:46. Since then she has lost four straight: a first-round KO/TKO to Joselyne Edwards, a decision to Klaudia Syguła, a first-round submission to Chelsea Chandler, and a second-round KO/TKO to Nina Milošević.

Three of her four wins by stoppage ended in round one. When she hits, the fights end early.

Fighting Style

Priscila Cachoeira is a busy striker who gets hit a lot. She lands more strikes per minute than most fighters, but she also absorbs far more than most, and her striking defense leaves her open to return fire. Her accuracy is about average, so the volume comes from output rather than wild swinging.

On the ground, she is hard to take down. She rarely shoots for takedowns herself and almost never hunts for submissions.

That doesn't make her safe on the mat, though. Five of her ten UFC losses are submissions, so when opponents do get the fight down, they usually finish it.

Her own wins come by strikes: four of her five UFC victories are knockouts or TKOs, and three of those ended in the first round.
