There has been a lot of debate about who the best bantamweight mixed martial artist is, and some believe that Sean O’Malley holds that title. However, not everyone agrees. In a recent tweet, @BrayMMA84 claimed that O’Malley is the best bantamweight on the planet right now. This sparked a response from Bellator MMA titleholder Patchy Mix, who confidently stated that he is the best.
Patchy Mix has an impressive record of 19-1 and is currently on a six-fight winning streak. He emerged as the winner of the Bellator MMA bantamweight Grand Prix, defeating Raufeon Stots and Sergio Pettis along the way. Mix holds the interim bantamweight title and the 135-pound tournament title.
On the other hand, Sean O’Malley is set to defend his title against Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera in a highly anticipated rematch at UFC 299. O’Malley suffered his only loss to Vera in August 2020 but has since gone on an unbeaten streak, winning his last seven fights. He secured the bantamweight title by defeating Aljamain Sterling in a thrilling match at UFC 292.
