Patchy Mix: Looking to bounce back from a flat debut
Patchy Mix (20-2) entered the UFC as the final Bellator bantamweight champion with high expectations. But in his promotional debut at UFC 316, he looked hesitant and out of sync, suffering a unanimous decision loss to Mario Bautista. He struggled to implement his trademark grappling, showing flat footwork and a lack of urgency.
Now demoted to the early prelims, Mix has everything to prove. Still, his resume speaks volumes — 65% of his wins have come via submission, and prior to his UFC debut, he looked like a potential nightmare matchup for anyone in the division. Expect a focused and fired-up Mix aiming to make a statement.
Jakub Wikłacz: Polish prospect steps into deep waters
Jakub Wikłacz (16-3-2) arrives from KSW, where he went 6-1 and held the bantamweight title. A submission-focused grappler with 63% of his wins coming via tapout, Wikłacz is currently riding a 6-fight win streak. However, his striking remains underdeveloped and he hasn’t faced anyone on Patchy Mix’s level.
This is a tough debut matchup for the 29-year-old, who’s being thrown straight into the fire.
Patchy Mix vs Jakub Wikłacz prediction
The UFC isn’t making things easy for Wikłacz, debuting him against one of Bellator’s most dominant champions. While Mix looked underwhelming in his first Octagon appearance, it came against a top-10 opponent in Bautista. This is a major step down in competition.
With his back against the wall, expect Mix to come out aggressive and prove a point. He’ll likely take this fight to the ground early and show why he was so highly touted.
Prediction: Patchy Mix to win inside the distance
