Tachi Palace Fights champ Gomez focused on title defense, open for return to Bellator

Following a September 2010 win over Travis Reddinger in the quarterfinals of Bellator Fighting Championship's first-ever bantamweight tournament, things seemed to be going just right for Ulysses Gomez.

Slated to fight Zach Makovsky in the tournament's semifinal, things took a turn for the worse when Gomez developed a staph infection that forced him to withdraw from the field.

Following a six-month layoff, Gomez returns to action in the co-feature of Friday's Tachi Palace Fights 8 event in Lemoore, Calif. "Useless" insists he's solely focused on the task at hand, but a return trip to the Bellator cage isn't out of the question.
