Patrick "Patchy" Mix thinks he’s at an entirely different level than upcoming opponent Mario Bautista. 

Mix will make his promotional debut against Bautista at UFC 316 on Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.  Judging by Bautista’s performance in a fight against Guido Cannetti, Mix said he will dominate his opponent. “Patchy” also believes he can submit Bautista and his entire jiu-jitsu team. 

“Like right here where he rests, he won’t be able to rest against me. Like, if that kid [Cannetti] can push him up against the fence, I think I can. I’m a three-time world champion, this guy’s a journeyman fighter,” Mix said on UFC Embedded. “I will f--k him up bro… I’ll submit him and I’ll submit whoever is teaching him jiu-jitsu, I will submit the whole f----ing crew.” 

Riding a seven-fight winning streak, Mix came to the UFC as a two-time defending Bellator MMA champion. Meanwhile, Bautista is also riding a seven-fight winning streak, topped off by his biggest career win against Jose Aldo.  Sportsbooks have Mix as a slight -160 favorite against Bautista, a +145 underdog.
