News Patchy Mix officially signs with the UFC and will make his debut against Mario Bautista at UFC 316 in Newark on June 7

Yes, the video library is worth a lot more than a contracted fighter.

No one is buying a company just to have their fighters. Fighters aren't employees. If a company wanted MVP they would just sign them in free agency.

The UFC bought Pride for the same exact reason. Video library and an attempt at a network deal in Japan (which didn't go through). Most of the fighters in Pride weren't included in the deal. Most of the Pride alumni came on brand new contracts after the fact.

In PFL's case it was for the roster, they're not actually doing anything with the video library.

In terms of the fight, I don't rate Bautista in the slightest, so I don't see Mix having any issues here.

 

[Necrocrawler]

Great fight
Mix UD

Why would you want a fighters highlight real if you aren't promoting them to fight. Lmfao

And where is this extensive and much sought after video library available to watch?

I know everyone hates Bautista, but man I always have such a hard time believing in the Bellator guys with what a joke that promotion was. I know they have good fighters, Mix is definitely good, I just wouldn't be surprised if Bautista beats him tbh.

 

[Mickey Mick]

Love it. Knew the UFC would pick up Patchy Mix after the news of his release from PFL the other day.

Pico, pitbull, mix, and chandler are all now ufc fighters.

Now all that’s left is McKee.

Rip Bellator!

 

[Superior]

I hope Mix starches him.

 

[Motivated BJ Penn]

Hope this patchy guy can get off the damn fence

 

[Shadey1]

Could say with a win here he would mix up the division... Awful I know.

Rooting for patchy here.

 

[Kratos94]

That's a pretty good signing. I doubt he'll become champion, but he will fit in nicely in the top 10/5.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

Great signing, great match making. LFG

 

[contrail]

Mix will be champion by end of 2026

 

[BoxerMaurits]

What did you guys make of Patchy’s debut? Think he’ll make the top 10?

Lol what do you think everyone made of his debut? He didn't look like himself at all. No grappling attempts, very stationary. I'm not sure if he was injured or had jitters.

In Cage Fury

Anyone know what the line on Bautista winning was?

You don't know what's going on with that video library behind closed doors
