Gomez will be fighting in front of his home state fans for the second time this year and is expected to have strong support from family and friends. "Fighting in front of the Florida fans means everything to me,” concluded Gomez.  “I’m from Dade City, so I’ll have a lot of family and friends in the crowd. I’m going to feed off their energy and give them something to cheer about. Every fight is a chance to show what I can do, and I plan on showing that I have the skills to be one of the best in this division. This is the kind of night where memories are made, and I plan to leave a lasting impression. I want people to walk away from this fight talking about me.”
