The UFC veteran star Priscila Cachoeira recently received a restraining order from her ex-girlfriend, Marcelle Nunes after she was accused of abusing her for years.
On July 7, Nunes pressed charges against Cachoeira and alleged that back in February, Cachoeira had attacked her and left her with a hand injury that required two surgeries. Megan Fox Leaks ‘Insane’ Conor McGregor Claim
Priscilla Cachoeira denies the allegations
Cachoeira recently issued a statement to MMAFighting.com through her management team and disproved the accusations made by Nunes.
Here is what she said:
“I’ve never committed any physical assault against Marcelle. She would lose control many times during an argument and wanted to hit me, but I just defended myself.”
MMAFighting obtained a police report that states that Cachoeira is being accused of throwing Nunes to the ground and kicking her in mid-2019. Nunes also claimed that Cachoeira’s attacks stopped when there was blood on her head.
Nunes also accused Cachoeira of knocking her unconscious with a punch to the mouth back in September 2019. Nunes claims she required medical assistance to save a tooth.
Nunes claim that back in February, Cachoeira was likely intoxicated and on drugs during a heated argument. Nunes revealed that the UFC star had delivered a kick to her body. She then alleged that her hand was badly cut on a glass shelf, which caused torn ligaments.
Nunes said the following to MMAFighting.
“I slept in fear. Days before I came [to Bage] I told her, ‘Priscila, please, I’m going away, please forget I exist. I’m afraid of you going there and doing something to me. … My family and friends urged me to press charges and ask for a restraining order. My parents don’t like when I leave the house for any reason. Even though I’m home, I have no peace or security because I don’t know if something will happen to me.”
Cachoeira had last competed back in May. She defeated Gina Mazany via second-round TKO on the UFC 262 card.
Nunes also provided an image of her hand post-surgeries which can be seen below:
