The all-Brazilian bout between Denise Gomes and Eduarda Moura has been reportedly set for the UFC Fight Night live on Saturday, June 8. The pair squares off in the three-rounder at women’s strawweight. The venue accommodating the event is yet to be determined.
Unbeaten 30-year-old Eduarda Moura (10-0) won her previous bout last November via second-round TKO against Montserrat Ruiz and secured her third win for the year. 24-year-old Denise Gomes (8-3) dropped a unanimous decision against Angela Hill last November, which snapped her two-win streak.
The fight was reported by freelance journalist Marcel Dorff at Eurosport NL via post on X.
