Bellator bantamweight champion Patchy Mix has a chip on his shoulder.
Mix (19-1) defends his title in a rematch against Magomed Magomedov (20-3) in the Bellator Champions Series: Paris (Max) main event Friday at Accor Arena in Paris. Mix submitted Magomedov in their first fight, which took place in the Bellator bantamweight grand prix semifinal in December 2022.
Mix is confident he’s the best 135-pounder in the sport, but doesn’t think he gets the credit he deserves. The 30-year-old has finished 15 of his 19 professional wins, and thinks Sean O'Malley gets more praise because he’s a champion in the UFC.
