Patrick 'Patchy' Mix faced a setback at UFC 316, suffering a unanimous decision defeat against Mario Bautista. Despite entering the fight with high expectations and an eight-bout winning streak, Mix struggled to implement his grappling and was outstruck for most of the match. This loss not only prevents Mix from contending for Merab Dvalishvili's bantamweight title but also signals a need for improvement. Following the bout, Mix expressed determination to rebound from this defeat, thanking his supporters and vowing to return stronger.
In addition to being unable to implement his vaunted grappling, Mix looked slow and ineffective on the feet, as he was outstruck for the better part of three rounds.
If Mix had been victorious, he would have emerged as an immediate contender for Merab Dvalishvili's 135-pound belt. Instead, it's back to the drawing board.
Mix posted on Facebook, 'Tough night for me in the office... Would have liked to do more and made adjustments. I will come back stronger from this moment.'
