“Hey guys, I’m so sorry. But thank you for your support, for your love. I’m okay, as you can see, I’m okay, just my heart is broken,” Kowalkiewicz said. “I had a really great fight camp, perfect weight-cutting, I felt really, really good. Really good shape, but my opponent, she’s better than me, what can I say?
“Give me some time and see you soon. I’m not going to retire, don’t worry.”
After going on a five-fight skid, Kowalkiewicz managed to string together four wins in a row. Her winning streak ended in a matchup against Iasmin Lucindo back in May.
It has been quite some time since Kowalkiewicz found herself in the UFC women’s strawweight title picture. Her lone UFC title fight took place back in November 2016. She fell short against Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
Whether or not the loss to Gomes puts Kowalkiewicz’s future on the UFC roster in jeopardy remains to be seen. She managed to survive a five-fight losing streak, so perhaps there are more UFC bouts in store for the 25-fight veteran.
