'Patchy' Mix Seeks 'Notoriety' in UFC Debut: 'I’m Coming to Show the World Who I Am'

"Patchy" Mix didn’t take long to find a new home.

Within days after Professional Fighters League confirmed that it had granted Mix his release, the former Bellator MMA bantamweight champ was seated cageside for UFC Vegas 106 on Saturday. That was followed by the announcement that Mix would be stepping in for Marlon Vera on short notice against Mario Bautista at UFC 316.

"You get the call and you answer it," Mix said at the UFC Vegas 106 post-fight press conference.
