UFC Fight Night: Sijara Eubanks vs Priscila Cachoeira

‘SarJ’ comes into the fight off a two-fight skid, losing to Pannie Kianzad and Ketlen Viera via unanimous decision. Prior to the losses, it seemed like she was getting back on track with a pair of impressive wins. Sijara Eubanks hasn’t been able to stay consistent inside the cage and will be keen to accrue a finish in the UFC.

Eubanks’ toughness has been a major driving force seen throughout her tenure with the UFC. She’s fought in the UFC since 2018 and has notable wins over Lauren Murphy and Julia Avila during her run. Additionally, she’s faced high-level competition throughout her pro career as he faced Katlyn Chookagian in her second professional fight.

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.
