Another undefeated Brazilian is headed to the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

According to a Monday report by Brazilian outlet Psicoticos Por Vale Tudo, “Peditra” Priscila Cachoeira will make her UFC debut later this year when she takes on American Lauren Murphy at “The Ultimate Fighter 26” Finale. The TUF 26 wrap event is scheduled for Dec. 1 at the Park Theater in Las Vegas.
