CORTNEY CASEY VS PRISCILA CACHOERIA LOWDOWN
Cortney Casey’s unflattering (9-8) record is a familiar sight when fighters start their career in the UFC, learning to swim in the fiercely competitive waters of the female strawweight and flyweight divisions. She has fought top fighters inevitably losing but she has good wins over the likes of Randa Markos and Angela Hill. She also picked up the fourth submission of her career against Mara Romero Borella back in May but then met Gillian Robertson who gave her a taste of her own medicine.
Priscila Cachoeira (9-3) experienced that step-up in competition arriving to the UFC with an unbeaten 8-0 record. She could not of had a bigger baptism of fire stepping up to fight Valentina Shevchenko who is one of the most skilled fighters in MMA. She got marbleized and then lost her next two fights to Molly McCann and Luana Carolina Carolina via unanimous decision. However, she prevented more damage to her record with an exceptional performance and first-round knockout over Shana Dobson back in February.
CORTNEY CASEY VS PRISCILA CACHOERIA PREDICTION
This should be a good scrap. They match-up similarly physically and should bring a fast pace to the octagon. Casey is the favourite here with a more rounded skill set. She is a good striker but that is Cachoeira’s strength so it will be interesting to see what her strategy is.
The Brazilian will obviously hope the fight stays o the feet so if Casey can mix up her strikes with takedowns and clinches she can take the fight away from the Brazilian. If the fight goes to the floor a submission for Casey is also possible but this will most likely end in a decision.
Prediction: Casey via Decision
