Runs winning streak to four
Gomes defeated Tecia Pennington via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
Impact
Pennington can be a tricky opponent because she's very light on her feet and has a ton of experience, but Gomes passed the test without issue. She consistently limited the space between the two women which allowed her to unload the far more damaging blows. The constant pressure also allowed Gomes to land three successful takedowns. Still just 25 years of age and the winner of four straight, the Brazilian is a fighter to keep an eye on moving forward at 115 pounds.

Fighting Pennington in Vegas
Gomes will take on Tecia Pennington at a UFC event in Las Vegas on November 11, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
Impact
Gomes will head into the bout riding a three-fight win streak in UFC play dating back to June of 2024. The 5-foot-2 Brazilian will look to use advantages in both height and reach to take out the more experienced American. With a 7-1 professional record in KO/TKO finishes combined with Pennington's proclivity for decision finishes (20 of 22 professional finishes), Gomes will undoubtedly be looking to use her striking to end this one early.

Cruises as biggest favorite on card
Gomes defeated Elise Reed via KO (punches) at 0:30 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
Impact
This is the type of dominant performance you like to see when a fighter is upwards of a -700 favorite. Gomes dominated Reed in all aspects of the fight, landing three takedowns in the brief bout in addition to finishing with a 69-35 edge in total strikes landed. The fight could have been stopped a good 10-15 seconds early had referee Jason Herzog, who is usually very good, been on top of things. Gomes is quickly developing into a legitimate contender in the 115-pound female division. She's won five of six dating back to April 2023, with three of those wins coming via knockout.

The 25-year-old will aim to secure a third consecutive win against an opponent that has alternated wins and losses over her first eight UFC bouts.
