Here's the match video of Miranda Maverick vs Priscila Cachoeira from last night's UFC show in Salt Lake City. Joanne Wood was supposed to be Priscila's opponent but she pulled out a couple of weeks ago due to visa problems. I think Joanne was planning for this to be her retirement match. Miranda came in on two weeks notice. She's 26 years old from Missouri. She trains at Elevation Fight Team in Denver. She's 4-3 in the UFC. Priscila is 34 years old from Brazil. She trains at MMA Masters in Miami. She's 4-4 in the UFC. She's mainly a striker. So Miranda needed to take Priscila to the ground and try to get a finish. In the first two rounds Miranda controlled her on the ground but it was too close to the fence to get a finish. In round three she got the takedown in the middle of the cage so there was enough space for Miranda to progress to an armbar finish. I expected Miranda to win this fight. But she hasn't done well against better opposition. I don't think Priscila belongs in the UFC. Enjoy the video!
