Joselyne Edwards Knocks Out Priscila Cachoeira at UFC
Joselyne Edwards knocked out Priscila Cachoeira at 2:24 of Round 1 at UFC Vegas 109 on August 9, 2025. Edwards stopped Cachoeira with a right hook at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, extending her winning streak to three.
A replacement opponent, then a fast finish
Edwards was first booked to meet former title challenger Bueno Silva in a women’s bantamweight bout. Bueno Silva later withdrew for undisclosed reasons, and Priscila Cachoeira stepped in as the replacement. The change reshaped the matchup: instead of the anticipated meeting with a submission specialist, Edwards faced another aggressive striker on the UFC Vegas 109 card.
The bout with Cachoeira did not reach the judges. According to the UFC’s official result, Edwards won by knockout via right hook at 2:24 of the opening round. The short time and method are important details: this was a first-round knockout, not a decision or a submission. UFC’s recap described the finish as the most emphatic performance of Edwards’ career to that point.
Edwards extends her winning run
The victory gave Edwards three consecutive wins and three straight finishes, according to the UFC recap. She had entered the original booking with momentum after stoppage victories over Tamires Vidal and Chelsea Chandler. The Cachoeira result added another highlight to that run and strengthened Edwards’ position in the bantamweight division.
Edwards said after the fight that she felt she had improved, and she used the post-fight moment to call for a higher-ranked opponent. The UFC awarded her a Performance of the Night bonus for the knockout. Those details help explain why this bout mattered beyond the replacement change: it became a decisive showcase of her developing striking and a career milestone.
