Eduarda Moura, the Brazilian UFC fighter, has been making headlines for missing weight twice in her last two bouts. Despite this setback, she is determined to make up for it with a thrilling performance at UFC Louisville this Saturday night.
In her last fight at UFC Sao Paulo, Moura came in 3.5 pounds over the strawweight limit before finishing Montserrat Ruiz in the second round. This time, she was a half-pound over and plans on addressing her weight issues with a doctor post-fight. Despite the weight struggles, Moura is focused on her upcoming fight against Denise Gomes and is determined to be the first person to stop her in the UFC.
Moura expressed her confidence in an interview with MMA Fighting, stating, “I will run through her like a car, like a tractor. I’m going all-in. I’m going there to end this fight decisively, like I’ve done all my fights. It’s what people like to watch.”
The fighter, who has only gone the distance once in her career, is determined to seek a stoppage in every fight after witnessing questionable calls in recent UFC bouts. She is prepared to showcase her striking skills and heavy hands against Gomes, despite acknowledging her opponent’s knockout power.
Moura also revealed that she prefers not to share a card with her teammate Jailton Almeida again, as the team likes to focus on one athlete at a time. Looking ahead, she is not calling out a top-ranked opponent just yet, but is confident in her abilities to take on anyone in the top 15 rankings.
With her determination and confidence, fans can expect an exciting and action-packed fight from Eduarda Moura at UFC Louisville.
