Patchy Mix has been removed from the RIZIN roster. The move comes after he went 0-2 in the promotion.
Patchy Mix is no longer part of the RIZIN roster. The promotion removed the bantamweight following a 0-2 run in its ring, a development that closes a short chapter for a fighter once regarded among the best in the weight class.
Mix, 33, carries a professional record of 20-3-0. The Southpaw stands five-foot-eleven (180 cm) with a 70-inch (178 cm) reach, sizeable dimensions for the bantamweight division. His statistical profile shows a fighter who leans on pressure and wrestling: he lands 5.3 significant strikes per minute at 43 percent accuracy and averages 2.5 takedown attempts per 15 minutes.
His submission attempt rate sits at zero per 15 minutes, a notable figure for a fighter whose name was long tied to grappling.
His most recent recorded fights tell the story of a difficult stretch. On October 4, 2025, at UFC 320: Ankalaev vs. Pereira 2, Mix dropped a split decision to Jakub Wiklacz over three rounds. That followed a unanimous decision loss to Mario Bautista at UFC 316: Dvalishvili vs. O'Malley 2 on June 7, 2025. Those two defeats account for two of his three career losses, meaning he has lost back-to-back fights in his most recent recorded outings.
Neither of those bouts took place under the RIZIN banner. The 0-2 run cited in the news belongs to his time with the Japanese promotion, so his recorded form should be read alongside it rather than as a substitute for it.
Why it matters
- Mix's two recorded losses came by decision, one split and one unanimous, rather than by stoppage.
- With 20 wins against three losses, he still owns a strong overall record despite the recent skid.
- His exit leaves him free to move elsewhere in the bantamweight landscape.
The numbers suggest a fighter whose game is built around volume and takedowns rather than finishing, which can leave results exposed to the scorecards when close rounds fall the wrong way. Both of his recorded recent defeats went the distance.
