UFC President Dana White has come forward with a heated message concerning the co-main event from Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 125.
UFC Fight Night 125 went down in Belem, Brazil on Saturday, Feb. 3. Co-headlining the night’s event, former UFC bantamweight title challenger Valentina Shevchenko made her flyweight debut against Priscila Cachoeira.
Despite the fact that Shevchenko is an experienced octagon warrior with an illustrious career in the UFC, Priscila Cachoeira was pinned against the fighter in her first ever octagon performance. Shevchenko put on a dominant display against her opponent, bloodying Cachoeira with a flurry of ground and pound.
Dana White has now gone to social media to offer his thoughts on Shevchenko’s brutal finish over Cachoeira. Taking to Instagram, White stated:
“Priscilla Cachoeira, you showed so much heart and toughness in that fight. I’m honored to have you fight in the UFC. Unfortunately the ref is there to protect you and Mario DID NOT do that.
“This isn’t his first disgusting performance in the octagon. Another unfortunate thing is that i can’t do anything about I️t only the Brazilian commission can and i am hoping after this scary, incompetent showing he hopefully will never set foot in that Octagon again. Strikes landed was 230-3.”
