Early career

[edit]

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.
