(Miami, FL)- Ediane “India”
Gomes has indicated to her entire camp she has never felt
better or more prepared to
take on Katalina Malungahu (2-0) in a featherweight bout next Saturday at
Invicta 3. India, as she is
better know, garners an impressive 8-2 record with losses only to Ronda Rousey
and Amanda Nunes. She began
her career in 2007 with a submission win over Elaine Santiago and has
been ranked #9 in the
Featherweight division on the Unified Women's Mixed Martial Arts Rankings.
This fight has been a long
time coming for India. She has sat idle since October of last year and has been
unable to pick up a fight
since. “I've had a lot of fights fall through,” indicated Gomes. “There are not
a lot
of women fighters who are
willing to fight me.” That is not hard to imagine with 7 of her 8 fights ending
in
finishes.
“I'm excited to fight
Katalina,” said Gomes. “She is a very good striker. I have been working on my
striking for a long time so I
can't wait to stand toe-to-toe with her.” When asked about her fight strategy,
Gomes indicated she plans to
showcase her striking ability in this fight but will use her brazilian jiu
jitsu
skills if necessary.
Gomes trains at world
renowned American Top Team under head coach Ricardo Liborio. “I've really been
able to improve my overall
MMA game since I started training with ATT. Master Liborio treats me like
family and I am very grateful
for everything he and the gym have done to get me here.”
Gomes is extremely tough but
has had trouble finding an MMA home. “We've been looking to sign her to
an organization for awhile,”
indicated Gomes' manager at ML Management. “We are hoping she has an
amazing show at Invicta and
the organization will give Ediane a new home. She is an extremely talented
fighter who deserves to be
showcased and fight the best.”
Gomes' fight at Invicta 3
will take place Saturday, October 6th, 2012 at Memorial Hall in Kansas City,
KS.
