NORWICH, Conn. – Patchy Mix won his opening-round Bellator bantamweight grand prix fight in April in Hawaii.
In June, he found out his opponent for the semifinals. And now, nearly six months later, and nearly eight months since his last action, Mix (16-1 MMA, 5-1 BMMA) is ready to get back to work when he meets Magomed Magomedov (19-2 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) in the semifinals.
Their fight is a key part of Bellator 289, which takes place Friday at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The main card airs on Showtime following prelims on MMA Junkie. Mix and Magomedov are the featured fight behind a women’s flyweight title bout and the main event, interim bantamweight champ Raufeon Stots and Danny Sabatello in the other semifinal.
