Priscila Cachoeira is on a two-fight win streak and competed not too long ago against Gina Mazany at UFC 262. Her UFC run began in disastrous fashion as she went 0-3 in the organization before her recent wins. However, her first fight was against Valentina Shevchenko, of all people, thus providing her some leeway.

Priscila Cachoeira has shown that she has power in both hands and her last two wins came via KO/TKO. She’ll be favored against Eubanks’ plotting style that utilizes minimal head movement in the pocket. However, Sijara Eubanks’ durability is something to look out for and energy efficiency will be the name of the game.
