Priscila Cachoeira Eye Gouge Controversy Explained

Robertson captured Cachoeira (10-4 MMA, 2-4 UFC) in a rear-naked choke in the first round of their fight.
Cachoeira drove her fingers deep into her opponent’s eye instead of tapping out of the submission or peeling her hands to escape.
It didn’t matter because she lost anyhow, but the dirty strategy sparked widespread criticism in the MMA community.
After the unlawful activity, fans, journalists, and fighters demanded that Cachoeira be removed from the roster.
She was instead given a main card place at Saturday’s UFC Match Night 202 event, where she will face Ji Yeon Kim (9-4-2 MMA, 3-4 UFC) in a women’s flyweight fight.
Cachoeira says that dealing with all of the harsh reactions following her defeat was difficult.
