Priscila Camoeira defeated Ariane Lipski in a stunning performance at UFC San Diego.
In the battle of Brazilians Cachoeira began throwing punches from the moment the fight started. She was eager to use her power punches when it became clear that Lipski would not stand to trade. A short left hand rattled Lipski initially and a right hand behind it dropped her to the canvas, which spelled the beginning of the end with the referee stopping the fight at just 1:05 in the opening round.
Cachoeira, who was originally supposed to compete last week in the UFC APEX, instead got to celebrate her win in front of a raucous audience in San Diego.
” Fighting with a crowd makes it more enjoyable,” Cachoeira stated. “We fight to put on a show for you guys. It’s the power of my team. You can keep doubting me. I keep coming back.”
After realizing that Lipski would be willing to take part in the war on her feet, Cachoeira put forth a great performance. Lipski appeared ready to trade shot for shot as she began winging punches with the same kind of ferocity as Cachoeira.
Unfortunately, Lipski’s shots were coming up short and she was ultimately eaten alive on the feet by a stronger and more accurate puncher in Cachoeira.
As Lipski fell to the ground after a right-handed crushing punch, Cachoeira followed Lipski to the mat where she continued to pound relentlessly until the referee stopped the fight.
The win moves Cachoeira to 3-1 in her past four fights, which is an impressive run in the UFC after starting her career inside the octagon with three straight losses.
