Improves to 4-1 in past five fights
Gomes defeated Karolina Kowalkiewicz via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It ended up being a relatively easy win for Gomes in a fight in which not a ton happened. The Brazilian closed with a 73-46 edge in terms of significant strikes landed. She also was credited with 5:47 worth of control time, the majority of which was pinning Karolina along the fence, despite failing on all three of her takedown attempts. It would have been nice to see Gomes get the finish as a -650 favorite, but she did what was necessary to walk out of the Apex with the victory. Gomes has won four of her last five and won't turn 25 years of age until the end of December. There's potential here, especially in a thin 115-pound female division.

ANALYSIS
Gomes defeated Eduarda Moura via split decision in her most recent fight, and her dominant display in that fight suggests she's trending in the right direction. After all, Gomes has gone 3-2 over her last five UFC bouts, and the fact that the win over Moura was against an opponent who missed her weight puts even more value on that.

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.
