Referee Mario Yamasaki, UFC matchmakers, and PRVT coach Gilliard Parana have been criticized the past few days for the beating that Priscila Cachoeira suffered against Valentina Shevchenko, but the Brazilian fighter doesn’t regret anything.
Cachoeira lost her UFC debut against “Bullet” in the co-main event of UFC Belem on Saturday night via second-round submission, but many believe the fight should have been stopped before getting to that point.
In a statement posted on her social media in her native Portuguese, Cachoeira, who will likely stay out of action until 2019 due to a knee injury sustained in the first exchange of the fight, thanked her coach for not throwing in the towel.
