Patchy Mix might want to steer clear of social media in the aftermath of his UFC debut.
The former Bellator bantamweight champion became the latest ‘fraud check’ victim at UFC 316 on Saturday night.
In the lead-up to his promotional debut, Patchy Mix claimed he would ‘viciously strangle’ Sean O’Malley.
However, he looked a far cry from world-class while being dominated over 15 minutes by Mario Bautista.

Patchy Mix branded opponent ‘journeyman’ before UFC 316
In a recent episode of the UFC 316: Embedded series, Mix gave a scathing assessment of Bautista’s skillset as he studied tape ahead of their fight.
“I will f— him up,” the UFC newcomer declared.
“I’m a three-time world champion. This guy’s a journeyman fighter. I’ll submit him.
“And whoever’s teaching him Jiu-Jitsu, I’ll submit the whole crew.”
On fight night, Mix looked like a journeyman as he was battered bloody during the first two rounds.
Fans mock Patchy Mix after dreadful debut
A distinct lack of head movement and striking offense led fans to mock Mix’s performance.
“Fraud Checked: Patchy Mix,” one fan wrote. While another added: “Patchy Mix is a– bro.”
“I can’t think of a more poorly aged quote,” someone else said about Mix’s ‘journeyman’ jibe.
“At least he can take a punch,” a fourth fan joked about the 135lb fighter’s lack of head movement.
“Should be cut tonight,” one angry X user tweeted.
“Dude was doing a statue impersonation,” a sixth fan laughed.
