UFC Fight Night: Magny vs Prates Prelim Results
Denise Gomes defeats Karolina Kowalkiewicz by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)
Denise Gomes picked up her second straight win and fourth victory in five outings in the final preliminary card fight of the day, out-working veteran Karolina Kowalkiewicz over three rounds.
The Brazilian leaned on her edges in the speed and physicality departments, forcing Kowalkiewicz back to the fence where she landed knees and short punches while also getting the better of the exchanges in space. Each had moments where they looked to maintain the run of finishes throughout the remainder of the prelims in the final minute of the fight, but it was for naught.
Called upon for the first time today, all three judges scored the bout in favor of Gomes, who picked up her second win of the year and fourth victory in her last five fights. Still just 24 years old, Gomes continues to show improvements each time out and remains one to watch in the 115-pound weight class heading into 2025.
