Patchy Mix Misses Weight Ahead of RIZIN Fight

Patchy Mix, a former UFC fighter, has encountered further difficulties since his exit from the organization. He was scheduled to compete at RIZIN 54 in Tokyo, Japan, on August 11, but missed the weight limit by over six pounds during the weigh-ins.

Mix, who was supposed to weigh in at 61kg (134.48 pounds), stepped on the scales at 63.58kg, resulting in his removal from the co-main event slot. This follows a challenging period for Mix, who was cut from the UFC after consecutive losses and suffered a knockout in his RIZIN debut earlier this year.

Previously, Mix had a successful run in Bellator, defeating notable fighters such as Sergio Pettis and Kyoji Horiguchi. His recent struggles have been compounded by health issues, including a staph infection prior to his last UFC fight.
