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]
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.
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.
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.
Gomez went 7-5 in his next 12 fights, last appearing in 2015; a 26-second TKO loss.
