Bellator 295 full fight card winner and results
In the main event of Bellator 295 Patchy Mix defeated interim Bellator bantamweight champion Raufeon Stots to win the title and the bantamweight grand prix. At the 1:20 mark of the first frame, Mix caught Stots with a standing knee to set up a title unifier with the victor of the champion Sergio Pettis vs. Patricio Pitbull match from June.
The bantamweight tournament bracket saw Mix defeat former RIZIN champion Kyoji Horiguchi and submit Magomed Magomedov before his victory over Stots. Thanks to this run of performance, the New Yorker was rewarded with a $1 million cheque and will get his chance to face-off against the winner of the title fight in June. Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, a former flyweight champion, barely defeated Kana Watanabe in the co-main event to maintain her title chances.
