UFC flyweight Priscila Cachoeira is being accused of years of abuse by her ex-girlfriend, Marcelle Nunes.
Nunes was granted a restraining order against Cachoeira after pressing charges on July 7, MMA Fighting has learned. Nunes accused the MMA fighter of assault on three occasions, most recently an alleged attack in February 2021 that left Nunes with a serious hand injury that required two surgeries, per a police report obtained by MMA Fighting.
In a written statement to MMA Fighting via her management team, Cachoeira denied the accusations.
“I’ve never committed any physical assault against Marcelle,” she wrote.
