Ex-UFC Star Cut by RIZIN Following Back-to-Back Losses

A 6.3-pound weight miss and a public dressing-down from RIZIN’s CEO have put Patchy Mix’s career at a concerning point. The former UFC fighter and Bellator champion, who once dominated the bantamweight division, has now reportedly been released by RIZIN after suffering back-to-back defeats. At 33, Mix has gone from Bellator champion to a UFC veteran to someone now looking for a new home in a new promotion. “Former Bellator Bantamweight champion and two-fight UFC veteran Patchy Mix has been released by RIZIN,” reported MMA Mania , quoting Japanese platform Dropkick.
