Bellator 270 results: Patchy Mix taps James Gallagher (Video)
Bellator is back in Dublin, Ireland for Bellator 270 and in the co-main event, a bantamweight grudge match between James Gallagher and Patchy Mix goes down.
James Gallagher (11-1) is riding a four-fight winning streak but this will be his first fight with James Krause as his head coach. He last fought back in October of 2020 as he submitted Cal Ellenor. He’s currently ranked sixth in Bellator‘s bantamweight rankings.
Patchy Mix (14-1) returned to the win column back in May with a third-round submission over Albert Morales. Prior to that, he suffered a decision loss to Juan Archuleta for the bantamweight title. He also holds a first-round submission over Ricky Bandejas who knocked out Gallagher in the first round. He did miss weight, however.
