Priscila Cachoeira and Nina Milosevic are set to square off on the main card at UFC Fight Night 293, held at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. The women’s bantamweight bout features two fighters at different stages of their promotional careers.

Fighter Matchup and Preview

Cachoeira holds a 13-9 professional mixed martial arts record with a 5-9 mark inside the UFC. She enters the main card on a three-fight losing streak, having last secured a victory in March through a first-round stoppage against Josiane Nunes. Meanwhile, Milosevic brings a 9-1 overall record and a 1-0 UFC standing into her sophomore promotional appearance, following a first-round finish of Hailey Cowan during her August debut in Serbia.

According to MMA Junkie analyst Dan Tom, this matchup serves as a critical crossroads fight in the women’s bantamweight division. While Cachoeira boasts significantly more experience inside and outside the octagon, she must contend with a surging opponent. Analysts note that Cachoeira’s historically vaunted durability has shown signs of deterioration in recent years, making her vulnerable despite her ability to punish overly aggressive strikers.

Prediction and Betting Odds

The official expert prediction favors Milosevic to secure a victory via club-and-sub by the start of the second round.

FanDuel oddsmakers and the general public heavily lean toward the Serbian fighter, opening the lines with Milosevic listed as a -500 favorite and Cachoeira positioned as a +360 underdog.

Start Time and How to Watch

Cachoeira and Milosevic are scheduled to make their walks to the cage at approximately 8:40 p.m. ET.

Fans can stream the event live on Paramount+.
