The purchase of Bellator by the PFL has clearly not been a beneficial deal for all athletes. After Patrício Pitbull , the world featherweight champion (up to 65,7 kg), publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the company and his desire to leave the organization, it was Patchy Mix 's turn to issue a similar statement.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the American, who is the current Bellator bantamweight champion (up to 61,2 kg), complained about the delay by the company's executives in scheduling his next fight.

“My manager told me to wait, but I haven’t heard anything from PFL/Donn Davis. If you’re not going to let me fight, please release me from my contract. That’s not what I want, but if it’s not important for the company to have multiple champions, then let me go respectfully,” said Mix, who last fought in May of this year, in a victory against Russian Magomed Magomedov.

My manager told me to hold off but haven't heard anything from @PFLMMA @DonnDavisPFL If you are not gonna have me fight then just please release me from contract.This is not what I want but if I'm not important to the company being a multi time champion. Then let me go respectfully

It was expected that the fighter would defend his title against Brazilian Leandro Higo in the main event of Bellator Paris in November. However, the event ended up not happening. Besides Mix, Corey Anderson , the light heavyweight champion (up to 93 kg), was another to complain about the inactivity. To date, the PFL group has not commented publicly on the situation.
