Priscila Cachoeira is apologizing for those blatant eye gouges she used as a defense against Gillian Robertson at UFC 269 this past Saturday and insists they were not done intentionally.
Robertson submitted Cachoeira via rear-naked choke in the first round of their catchweight fight, but there was a brief moment before the fight-ending move that was being discussed for all the wrong reasons. As ‘The Savage’ continued to squeeze the neck of her opponent, ‘Pedrita’ was seen fishing around for Robertson’s eye and jamming her thumb in it in an apparent attempt to free herself from the choke.
