Mikey Gomez
Carlos Michael "Mikey" Gomez (born May 8, 1982) is a Paraguayian former mixed martial artist. A professional from 2005 until 2015, he competed for Bellator, EliteXC, Cage Warriors, XFC, and RFA.[1]
Mixed martial arts career
Early career
After compiling a 2-0 amateur record in 2004, Gomez made his professional debut against 14-2-1 future UFC veteran Carlo Prater in February 2005. Gomez was defeated via unanimous decision after two rounds. After amassing a 6-3 record, Gomez was signed by EliteXC.
EliteXC
Gomez made his promotional debut at EliteXC: Street Certified, losing via unanimous decision in an upset to 1-1 Eric Bradley. After two wins in other promotions, he returned at EliteXC: Heat in October 2008, defeating then-undefeated Italian fighter Lorenzo Borgomeo via second-round armbar submission.
After the financial collapse of EliteXC in 2008, Gomez was signed by Bellator in 2009.
Bellator
Gomez made his promotional debut at Bellator 2 in May 2009 against Jesse Juarez. Gomez lost via first-round TKO.
He returned to face Juarez in a rematch at Bellator 10, losing again via unanimous decision.
After consecutive losses and falling to 9-7, Gomez faced War Machine (then known as Jon Coppenhaver) for the Xtreme Fighting Championships promotion. Gomez was defeated via third-round TKO. He returned to Bellator at Bellator 13 in May 2010, set to make his Middleweight debut. However, Gomez missed weight (187 lbs). Gomez won via unanimous decision.
Post-Bellator
Gomez went 7-5 in his next 12 fights, last appearing in 2015; a 26-second TKO loss.
