In the prelims of this weekend’s UFC Fight Night card is an interesting battle of Brazilians. The undefeated Eduarda Moura will take on Denise Gomes in a fight that features a fascinating clash of styles, between one gifted striker and one fighter who wants to get the fight to the ground. Here, we give you our UFC best bets for Eduarda Moura vs Denise Gomes from Louisville.
Eduarda Moura
Eduarda Moura has yet to suffer a loss in her professional MMA career. She is a perfect 10-0, including wins in the Contender Series and in her debut for UFC proper back in November of 2023. In her first fight of 2024, Moura will look to grab a win over Denise Gomes to improve to 11-0 as she looks to climb up the ranks in the women’s strawweight division.
While Gomes is going to try to win this fight with her striking, Moura is going to try to get this fight to the ground early and often. We saw Gomes struggle with a similar style when she lost to Angela Hill back in November. If Moura can get this fight to the mat early on, she could wear down her fellow Brazilian and run away with the fight as it progresses.
Denise Gomes
Going into Saturday’s Eduarda Moura vs Denise Gomes bout, Denise Gomes has a record of 2-2 in UFC. She beat Bruna Brasil and Yazmin Jauregui, while losing to Angela Hill and Loma Lookboonmee. Now she will aim to get back above the .500 mark in the promotion by using her striking to neutralize the ground game of Eduarda Moura.
In a division where so many fights go to the judges, Gomes is one of the few fighters that has knockout power that we have seen end fights. Her two UFC wins have both come by knockout and she clearly has what it takes to put opponents out at this level. But in order to utilize that power, her takedown defense will need to be at its best.
