Gillian Robertson says she felt two ‘pretty clear’ eye gouges from Priscila Cachoeira at UFC 269

Gillian Robertson was on the receiving end of some of the most blatant eye gouges in recent memory, but ‘The Savage’ took them in stride and had no issue with Priscila Cachoeira for her egregious defense tactics.

The fight between Robertson and Cachoeira served as the opener for the early preliminary portion of UFC 269 this past Saturday. Though Cachoeira got the better of the striking exchanges, Robertson took over the fight once she was able to get it to the ground. From there, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt unloaded on her opponent with ground-and-pound before she sunk in a rear-naked choke with a few seconds left in the first round.
