Easily handles heavy opponent
Gomes defeated Eduarda Moura via split decision (30-27, 28-29, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Louisville, Kentucky.
ANALYSIS
Don't let the "split decision" term fool you -- Gomes dominated the vast majority of this fight, and she did it against a heavy opponent. Moura missed weight by half a pound Friday morning, forfeiting 20 percent of her purse in order for the bout to proceed. Inside the Octagon, Gomes controlled the vast majority of the action, which wasn't too difficult considering Moura gassed out almost immediately. Gomes didn't accomplish a ton offensively, but all she had to do to win was stuff the vast majority of Moura's half-hearted takedown attempts. Still just 24 years of age, Gomes improves to 3-2 in her first five UFC bouts.

Facing Eduarda Moura in June
Gomes will face Eduarda Moura at UFC Louisville on June 8, Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Coming off a loss to Angela Hill in November, Gomes will look to bounce back versus Moura (10-0-0) in June. While Gomes lost her last bout, she pulled off a shocking upset in her previous fight in July 2023, defeating Yazmin Jauregui via TKO in Round 1 as a +310 underdog.

Can't defend takedown in loss
Gomes lost to Angela Hill via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
ANALYSIS
Entering the winner of back-to-back fights and fresh off a 20-second knockout victory over Yazmin Jauregui as a +310 underdog this past July, Gomes had her momentum halted against Hill. She did all she could to fire off plenty of volume on the feet and make this a dirty bout, but Gomes was unable to defend the takedown, allowing Hill to land 5-of-9 attempts. Gomes is plenty tough, has some pop in her hands, and is still just 23 years of age, so it's reasonable to expect further improvements moving forward despite this setback.

Homecoming scheduled against Hill
Gomes will compete against Angela Hill in a strawweight fight at UFC Sao Paulo on Nov. 4, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
UFC Sao Paulo will mark Gomes' first fight in her native Brazil since she signed with the UFC. The young Brazilian has back-to-back TKO wins but faces a difficult task with her next challenge, as Hill has never been knocked out despite a 10-13 UFC record.
