Bellator 289 Results: Raufeon Stots-Patchy Mix Set

Raufeon Stots and Patchy Mix punched tickets to the Bellator Bantamweight World Grand Prix Friday night.

Stots defended his interim title with a split decision over Danny Sabatello in the main event of Bellator 289. The card aired live on Showtime from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Mix, meanwhile, scored a technical submission victory over Magomed Magomedov when he locked up an anaconda choke in the second round.

The two will meet in 2023 with the winner likely positioned to face Sergio Pettis to unify the belts after.

In the co-main event, Liz Carmouche defended her flyweight title with a victory over Juliana Velasquez. The rematch wasn’t as close this time, as Carmouche won via second round submission.
