Background
Mix was born in Angola, New York, a small village approximately 20 miles outside of Buffalo. Mix began wrestling in the eighth grade, joining the Lake Shore High School wrestling team. With only 2 years of wrestling experience under his belt, Mix became a state qualifier in his weight class in the tenth grade, and in the process became the first wrestler from Lake Shore High to make the state tournament in over 40 years.[1]
Mixed martial arts career
King of the Cage
Making his pro debut in May 2016, Mix began regularly fighting for the King of the Cage promotion. Mix went undefeated in the promotion, going 9–0 and he became KOTC Bantamweight champion after defeating future UFC bantamweight Andre Ewell by submission.[2]
Bellator MMA
After having a successful run in King of the Cage, Mix made his Bellator MMA debut on June 14, 2019 at Bellator 222, facing highly touted prospect Ricky Bandejas in his promotional debut. Mix was victorious rather quickly, showing a superior ground game and submitting Bandejas with a rear-naked choke just 66 seconds into the first round.[3]
Mix's next bout took place on October 26, 2019 at Bellator 232, facing Isaiah Chapman. Mix once again showed dominance on the ground, submitting Chapman with a Suloev stretch kneebar in the first round.[4]
For Mix's next bout, he fought in the Rizin Fighting Federation, representing Bellator in a card that featured RIZIN fighters against Bellator fighters. He took on Yuki Motoya at RIZIN 20 on December 31, 2019. He was victorious via first round submission.[5]
After racking up three straight first round victories as part of the Bellator promotion, Mix was linked to a fight against Juan Archuleta for the vacant Bellator MMA Bantamweight World Championship at Bellator 242. However, Archuleta tested positive for COVID-19 and the bout was delayed. The bout was rebooked and took place at Bellator 246 on September 12, 2020. Mix lost the bout via unanimous decision, thus facing defeat for the first time in either his amateur or professional MMA career.[6]
Personal life
Mix and his girlfriend have one daughter.[1]
