The self -proclaimed best bantam weight in the world can get the chance to prove it in the UFC.
Since the acquisition of Bellator of the PFL, the Professional Fighters League Talent has lost, such as upcoming title challenge Kayla Harrison, Aaron Pico and two -division champion Patricio Pitbull.
Bellator Royalty Royalty Gangarded Mousasi and Ryan Bader followed them from the promotion together with fragmentary mix, one of the brightest stars on the PFL roster.
The Bellator Bantamweight champion has never lost his belt to anyone. Mix (20-1) won the interim title with an epic knee-ko from champion Raufeon Stots in 2023 and months later the Prodigy spread a former 5 UFC participant in Sergio Pettis to unite the title.
A well -completed hunter, Mix has long voted herself the best Bantamweight in the world and claims that he had subsequently received in countless interviews.
From this week a fight with the UFC 316 headliner became just as much more realistic.

With victories on Kyoji Horiguchi, Pettis, Stots, Magomed Magomedov (twice) and James Gallagher, Mix is more than a blue-chip perspective: he is a world champion that can be signed very well at the UFC.
Patchy Mix claimed that he could finish Sean O'Malley in 2 rounds
Former UFC Bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley is a yacht mix, there is every confidence that he would have defeated in the Octagon.
The #1 ranking order O'Malley is one of the best strikers of the UFC and he brakes Merab Dvalishvili for the Bantamweight title on UFC 316 on June 7.
When he was asked in earlier interviews about his chances against O'Malley, Mix replied:
“I am also very good at the feet,” Mix told TMZ.
'I have been just as long as [O’Malley]. Just as long as him.
“I just believe that I am better than him. I think I could finish it within 2.5 rounds. I don't think he would really have a lot for me.”
“I believe deep inside, in my heart in my heart, I actually know that I am the best bantam weight in the world,” Mix said.
Mix comes from a controversial decision in his last fight against Magomed Magomedov in PFL Paris, which took place around this time last year.
The American only lost once in his career in 2020, a unanimous decision for former Bellator and Rizin champion Juan Archuleta.
