Insider info

1 analyst read · 138 MMA · our paraphrase, never his words
Priscilla Cachoeira favored — picked against Chelsea Chandler coinflip UFC Fight Night: Muhammad vs Bonfim · May 30, 2026

Picked against, but the analyst is explicit that he isn't convicted on either side and says this fighter can absolutely win if she commits fully to wrestling for the whole fight.

More athlete than skilled fighter at this point -- physical, strong, comes forward, aggressive, with good-enough power that comes largely from raw physicality rather than technique. Her ground and pound grades out pretty well if she gets on top. Lacks a lifelong martial-arts background, and the analyst is direct that she's getting by on athleticism and aggression rather than a developed skill set, having arrived in the UFC before she was fully ready due to a thin division.
