It seems like every time Ediane Gomes turns around, she’s dealing with a new opponent. Gomes (10-2) was supposed to meet Julia Budd at tonight’s Invicta FC 6 card. Then Charmaine Tweet stepped in for an injured Budd. And when Tweet had visa issues, she was replaced by Tamikka Brents (2-0). And to make matters just a little bit worse for tonight’s fight, the bout isn’t at featherweight – it’s at a 150-pound catchweight since Brents had such a short time to make the cut. (And even then, Brents came in at 155 pounds and the contract was adjusted to be a lightweight bout; Gomes came in a pound under the original bout agreement limit at 149 pounds at Friday’s weigh-ins.) Even before Gomes knew Brents was going to miss weight, she was unhappy fighting at 150 pounds. “I don’t want to fight at 150 pounds,” Gomes told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
