MMA star Priscila was caught trying twice to gouge her opponent’s eye during their match at UFC 269
Gillian Robertson made the 33-year old submit just seconds before the end of the first round in Las Vegas.
Cachoeira has now lost 4 of 6 MMA fights she's had in the past six.
Cachoeira, who had lost weight before the fight at 129lb, tried to use dirty tactics to free herself from a rear-naked choke.
Replays revealed that the Brazilian attempted to gouge Robertson's eye not only once, but TWICE.
Robertson tried again, but it didn't work. He shook off the situation before applying the choke hold more forcefully.
Cachoeira couldn't bear the pain any more and gave up, tapping out as the final bell rang.
Joe Rogan, commentator on MMA, was not impressed by Cachoeira's shocking tactics.
The former MMA fighter became a podcast host while analysing the replay of ESPN's live coverage. It was clear that she tried to poke her eye with a stick.
"She does! 100 per cent. It's so disgusting! It's so disgusting!"
Cachoeira claimed that she did not intend to gouge Robertson's eyes after the fight.
She said to MMA Fighting that it wasn't her intention to "gouge" her eye while she was on my shoulder. It was heading in the opposite direction to her eye, but I didn't realize it. I wanted to push it and reach for her neck.
"That was not my intention, but I was desperate, almost to snore, and it was a matter for survival, right?"
"I want it off. It wasn't my intention that I would hit her eyes. Never. I am a professional, and I have already apologized to her via Instagram and in person. She was amazing.
You think "Critics" will be here? There is no other way. I will wait for the dust settle before getting back to work.
"I'll fix my mistakes. I am sorry for the incident. It will not happen again.
"She was on mine - how could I know? "If I had to endure any punishment, it would be at that moment."
Robertson, after her win, addressed the issue of eye gouging saying that he didn't give her a warning. There were two signs that indicated that he felt that Robertson had put his thumb in her eye.
"But I was trying to squeeze, squeeze. I had felt her body go a bit limp before the first one. I thought she was dead, but then the thumb went straight into my eye. I thought, "Oh, she's still here." OK.'"
Robertson eventually forgives Cachoeira, even though she wasn't pleased with her conduct.

"I don’t have any negative feelings towards her professionally or for this reason.
"Like my words, it's not hard to lose weight. But, other than that it is what it IS. We won the fight and can still hug at the end.
