Patchy Mix: UFC Record, Next Fight, Age, Wife, and More

Few fighters carry a nickname as personal as Patchy Mix’s “No Love” — a tag his grandfather gave him that stuck through every stage of his career. Behind that tough moniker is a 32-year-old bantamweight from Angola, New York, who went from roofing houses to winning a Bellator world title before stepping into the UFC octagon. Here’s a closer look at his record, his journey, and what comes next.

Record: 20-4-0 ·
Height: 5’11” ·
Weight: 136 lbs ·
Age: 32 ·
Team: Xtreme Couture

Eight key stats define the fighter’s measurable profile at a glance.

What is Patchy Mix’s MMA record?

UFC record

• Mix went 0-2 in the UFC across two fights. He made his debut on June 7, 2025 at UFC 316 against Mario Bautista and lost by unanimous decision (ESPN fight history).
• His second UFC outing came on October 4, 2025 at UFC 320, where he dropped a split decision to Jakub Wikłacz (UFC athlete profile).
• According to Wikipedia, Mix was released from the promotion on January 28, 2026.

The implication: after a decorated run outside the UFC, Mix faced two top-level bantamweights in quick succession and couldn’t find his footing. The split-decision loss suggests he was competitive, but competitive doesn’t keep a roster spot in a division as deep as UFC bantamweight.

RIZIN fights

• Before entering the UFC, Mix competed on the international scene. His RIZIN tenure is not extensively documented in major MMA databases, and specific bout records from that period remain sparse.
• What is clear from ESPN’s fight history is that Mix built his reputation primarily in Bellator, where he captured the bantamweight championship by submitting Sergio Pettis on November 17, 2023 (ESPN fight history).
• He also knocked out Raufeon Stots on April 22, 2023 in a Bellator title eliminator (ESPN fight history).

What is Patchy Mix’s real name and background?

Real name: Patrick Ethan Mix

• His birth name is Patrick Ethan Mix, as listed on both his UFC athlete profile and ESPN page.
• The nickname “Patchy” was given to him by his grandfather and stuck throughout his career. His fighting moniker “No Love” also appears on official UFC materials (UFC athlete profile).
• He was born on August 16, 1993 in Angola, New York, a small suburb on Lake Erie (ESPN MMA profile).

Ethnicity and early life

• Mix is an American fighter of European descent. Specific ethnic background is not publicly detailed in major sources.
• Before fighting full-time, he worked as a roofer — a job he held while training and fighting as an amateur (UFC athlete profile).
• He started training at age 14 with Dennis Brown, a local pro fighter who became his mentor (UFC athlete profile).

The pattern: fighters who start late, work manual jobs, and train with a single mentor from childhood often have a rawness that polished prospects lack. Mix’s 11-0 amateur record and ISKA national bantamweight championship (UFC athlete profile) suggest he was always gifted — the roof work just kept him grounded.

Where does Patchy Mix train?

Gym: Xtreme Couture

• Mix trains at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas, Nevada, as confirmed by his ESPN profile.
• He holds a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Harry St. Leger (UFC athlete profile).
• His fighting stance is southpaw, per ESPN’s fighter page.

Why this matters: Xtreme Couture is one of MMA’s most respected camps. Training alongside UFC veterans and contenders in Las Vegas gives Mix access to high-level sparring that smaller regional gyms can’t offer. The southpaw stance, combined with a BJJ black belt, makes him a legitimate threat on the feet and the mat — at least against anyone not in the UFC’s top tier.

Who is Patchy Mix’s wife?

Marriage and family

• According to his UFC athlete profile, Mix is engaged to UFC strawweight contender Tatiana Suarez.
• Beyond his engagement, Mix keeps his personal life relatively private. No additional details about marriage or children are publicly documented in major sports databases.

The trade-off: Mix’s public persona is focused almost entirely on fighting. That discipline serves him in the cage but leaves fans wanting more context about the person behind the nickname. What’s clear is that he’s building a life with another elite UFC athlete — Suarez is a former undefeated contender on the strawweight roster — which suggests a household with serious fight IQ.

What is Patchy Mix’s next fight?

Upcoming opponent and date

• No next fight has been officially announced. Mix was reportedly released from the UFC on January 28, 2026, making him a free agent (Wikipedia).
• Possible next steps include signing with another promotion (PFL, RIZIN, or ONE Championship) or seeking a return to the UFC through a short-notice replacement opportunity.

For Mix, the immediate future hinges on whether a major promotion sees value in a 32-year-old former Bellator champion with a 0-2 UFC record. His resume — including wins over Sergio Pettis and Raufeon Stots — gives him enough credibility to land somewhere. The question is whether he takes a step down in competition to rebuild or waits for a marquee offer.

Mix’s 11-0 amateur run and ISKA national title built the foundation for a career that eventually reached the UFC. His ability to finish fights — by KO, submission, or decision — made him a threat in any matchup. The question after his UFC release is whether that finishing instinct translates in a second act.

For the 32-year-old from Angola, New York, the next chapter is unwritten. The Bellator championship, the UFC stint, the release — none of it erases the path he carved. The choice facing him now: chase a return to the UFC through regional dominance, or take a guaranteed payday in a rival promotion. For a fighter who once balanced roofing jobs with training, the math is simple. He’s fought his way out of tougher spots before.
