Undefeated Bellator bantamweight contender Patchy Mix ended his year in impressive fashion when he jetted to Japan and represented the promotion with distinction with a submission finish of former DEEP bantamweight champion Yuki Motoya in their “Bellator vs. Rizin” matchup at Rizin FF 20 on New Year’s Eve.
Mix’s 97-second guillotine choke finish of Motoya was one of the highlights of a spectacular night at the Saitama Super Arena as “Patchy” enjoyed a night to remember on his Japanese debut.
Throughout the evening in Saitama, Mix was followed by Bellator’s camera crew, who documented his fight night journey, from his pre-fight warm-up all the way through to his post-fight reflections in the locker room, where the emotion of the occasion finally got to the tearful 26-year-old, whose eighth straight finish extended his perfect professional record to 13-0.
Recap the night in Bellator’s specially-shot video above.
