Patchy Mix is the Bellator bantamweight champion, and while he's ranked ninth pound-for-pound by KevinIole.com, Mix isn't happy with the way he's perceived. He believes he's the best 135-pounder in the world and said that includes all fighters, including UFC stars like Sean O'Malley and Merab Dvalishvili.

Mix will defend his title on Friday in Paris at Accor Arena in a rematch with Magomed Magomedov. Mix submitted Magomedov in a 2022 bout at Bellator 289 in the semifinals of its bantamweight world grand prix.

Mix discusses that fight, his status in the sport, why he's so confident that he's No. 1 and much more in this interview.
