Miranda Maverick

Miranda Maverick walked out of the Delta Center in Salt Lake City with an impressive victory, but it didn’t come without a heaping dose of frustration as her opponent, Priscila Cachoeira, seemingly attempted every dirty tactic in the book to avoid taking a loss.

On Saturday night, Miranda Maverick scored a third-round submission by way of armbar against the Brazilian standout, but along the way, Cachoeira was guilty of multiple fouls, including some fairly egregious fence grabs. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the worst. In the third round, Maverick dragged Cachoeira to the mat and immediately moved into side control. As she begins to reign down elbows on her opponent, Cachoeira can be seen pulling the top of Maverick in an attempt to expose her breasts and stop the onslaught of strikes.

Following the event, Miranda Maverick suggested that the clearly intentional attempt to manufacture a wardrobe malfunction should have resulted in a point deduction. Maverick also accused Cachoeira of intentionally keeping her fingers straight throughout most of the contest.

“At some point, you gotta say it’s a point [deduction],” Maverick said during her appearance at the post-event press conference. “She stuck her fingers up straight the entire fight pretty much and there was no chance she was just trying to push me off. There was no flat hands. I had warned the ref beforehand and to be honest, he did about as good of a job as I’ve seen any ref do. I said ‘Listen, I don’t want poked in the eyes in this fight.’ That was my main priority and he was like, ‘Alright, we’ll watch out for it.’

“You know, I hope the whole world didn’t see me, but they probably did,” Maverick said while gesturing to her chest. “I guess that’s part of the risk of fighting, but it’s very frustrating and it made me go in there that much angrier every round.”

Cachoeira Tries Cheap Tap Out Trick to Get Out of Miranda Maverick’s Submission Attempt

Priscila Cachoeira wasn’t quite done pulling out tricks from up her sleeve. Just past the two-minute mark of the third round, Miranda Maverick was able to snatch Cachoeira’s arm and lock in an armbar. Cachoeira attempted what is commonly referred to as a ‘Brazilian tap.’ That is where a fighter taps once in the hope that their opponent will loosen the hold. Fortunately, Maverick didn’t fall for it and continued to put on the pressure until Cachoeira had no choice, but to legitimately tap out.

Sadly, this is not the first time that Priscila Cachoeira has been observed blatantly attempting to skirt the rules while on the losing side of things. At UFC 269, Cachoeira was forced to tap out to a rear-naked choke during her bout with Gillian Robertson. But before submitting, Cachoeira attempted to jam her thumb into Robertson’s eye socket in hopes of breaking the hold.

Whether or not Cachoeira deserves to be dubbed the dirtiest fighter in the game is subjective, but there are an ample amount of examples to at least earn her a nomination. But as former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz once said “If you ain’t cheatin’, you’re not trying.”

Miranda Maverick moved to 5-3 under the UFC banner on Saturday night, winning three of her last four bouts inside the Octagon. She improved to 12-5 overall in her MMA career.

UFC Vegas 59

Ariane Lipski will no longer compete with Priscila Cachoeira at tonight’s UFC Vegas 59.

Lipski’s outing with Cachoeira was set to kick off the main card of the night at UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, it will no longer go through per new reports coming from Combate.

UFC Vegas 59 loses main card bout on fight day

Taking to Twitter, the Brazilian outlet shared the update with a full report online. Not all is lost as the bout has not been canceled for UFC Vegas 59. Instead, Lipski will compete against Cachoeira on next Saturday’s card at UFC San Diego.

Previously, the welterweight bout between Jason Witt and debutant Josh Quinlan also got scrapped from tonight’s event and postponed to Aug. 13.

Fight-day cancellations aren’t a new thing in MMA. As heartbreaking as it is to see our favorite fights fall off the card, it’s something the fans have gotten used to. One of the most notable last-minute cancelations this year was of Donald Cerrone’s outing with Joe Lauzon, initially targeted for UFC Austin. For the first time in his career, Cerrone withdrew from a bout, citing food poisoning as the source.

Main Card still looks promising

With the removal of the women’s flyweight bout, it’s unclear if and which prelim fight might get bumped up to a spot on the main card. Former title challenger Thiago Santos will headline UFC on ESPN 40 in a light heavyweight competition against the Dana White Contender Series standout Jamahal Hill.

A top-ten ranked contender at welterweight, Vicente Luque, will take to the octagon against Geoff Neal, another top-15 contender in the co-main event of the night. The fight will give Neal a chance to go higher in the ranks. For Luque, it’s his opportunity to claw back into the mix of title contention after suffering defeat to Belal Muhammad in his last showing.

Reigning pound-for-pound king Kamaru Usman‘s brother, Mohammed Usman, will make his highly-awaited UFC debut against Zac Pauga. UFC Vegas 59 prelims are scheduled to kick off at 7:30 pm ET with the main card starting at 10 pm ET.

Ariane Lipski

This weekend, Ariane Lipski will face off against Priscila Cachoeira at UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Hill.

‘The Queen of Violence’ is looking to build off a decision victory over Mandy Böhm, and mount a title challenge in the competitive flyweight division. Lipski recently spoke with LowKickMMA in an exclusive interview about the upcoming fight with Cachoeira, stating that:

“Priscila Cachoeira is a striker. I am a striker also. So I’m excited about it. She’s a tough opponent because she don’t be afraid to get punched. She likes pushing hard… I do believe that I fight with my heart also. I’m a tough opponent, tougher. And I think that the key for the win is my technique. I’m more technical than her. Also, I do believe that I’m a more well-rounded fighter. I have some submissions. So that’s it, I think that technique is key.”

Ariane Lipski Addresses Concerns That Priscila Cachoeira Will Deploy ‘Dirty Tactics’

Priscila Cachoeira is an experienced veteran in the women’s flyweight division, having fought some of the very best, including Valentina Shevchenko. However, over the course of her career, Cachoeira has been involved in multiple circumstances where she have been accused of unsportsmanlike conduct.

In her fight with Gillian Roberston, Cachoeira can be seen attempting to eye gouge her opponent after having her back taken. There have also been cases of Cachoeira faking a glove touch to land an early strike.

However, Ariane Lipski is prepared to deal with this kind of approach, should Cachoeira attempt anything untoward. In reference to the Robertson fight, Lipski stated:

“She was losing the fight. I think she was frustrated. I have to be aware for those things, not only against her but against all of my opponents. We have to be aware of this. I don’t break the rules but if she gonna fight like this, I’m ready. So it’s a fight. I’m not going to play, I’m going to fight and win. So if she’s going to do dirty things, she has to be ready. But in her last fight, she didn’t (do) these things, she was respectful… I think she won’t do the same, but if she try, I’m ready.”
