Mikey Gomez Shows Why He Was Chosen To Fight For The Cage Warriors USA Welterweight Belt PDF Print
Posted by Cage Warriors USA Press Release   

For those people that asked “Why is Mikey Gomez a Cage Warriors USA belt contender?” the question was answered Saturday night with a dramatic, exciting, extremely quick 1st round victory!

As ‘Fortunate Son’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival sounded around St Pete Times Forum, and the lights began to dance across the crowd, Gomez appeared through the curtain looking calm and focused. His presence instantly electrified the arena as if each and everyone knew what this fight meant to Mikey Gomez, the 7-4 Florida MMA star, whose February Elite XC fight ended with a decision in favor of his opponent.  

As the bell went, the 2 experienced fighters touched gloves, the crowd took their seats and the action began. The first punch was thrown by Antonio but Mikey’s fast counter punch saw Antonio fall to the ground. The ecstatic crowd rose to their feet as they watched Mikey land one powerful punch after another, until Antonio tapped out, just 27 seconds into the round.  

Cage Warriors USAThis was the Mikey Gomez we witnessed time and time again in 2006 with 5 straight wins, 4 in the first round, against opponents such as TUF contenders Jeremy May and Matt Brown.  

This was the explosive Mikey Gomez that Florida loved to watch and the reason why Cage Warriors USA instantly chose him to contend for the Welterweight belt against one of the most powerful unsigned opponents in Florida, Charley Blanchard (7-1), whose March victory was against one of Europe’s top fighters Jim Wallhead (16-5) and only career loss at the hands of UFC’s Ben Saunders.  

Immediately after the fight Mikey said “I am happy about the win, I had a plan and I implemented it, but my focus is on the Cage Warriors USA title fight.  Everyone in Florida should come see this fight!”

Gomez v Blanchard will take place at UCF Arena on August 23rd with tickets starting as low as $10 – go to www.Ticketmaster.com now to ensure you do not miss out on this main event, title fight.
