Patchy Mix vs Sergio Pettis

Mix became the new Bantamweight champion in Bellator with his submission victory over Sergio Pettis.

The pair fought at Bellator 301, where the American locked Pettis in a rear-naked choke to force him to tap out in the second round.

On May 17, 2024, Mix defended his world title against Magomed Magomedov during the Bellator Champions Series in Paris, France.
