It may have quieted down for a bit, but PFL is hearing from more fighters asking for their release with the latest being Bellator bantamweight champion Patchy Mix.

This isn’t the first time Mix hits the internet to try and get his release. Last December he joined Patricio Pitbull in asking to be let out, but hearing nothing.

Right now im 31 years of age. In the prime of my career. I spent my last 6 years of my life fully dedicated to @bellatormma. I worked extremely hard and sacrificed everything to win the grand prix and become a (3) multi time world champion. Now with the promotion gone I’m exactly champion of what,” Mix wrote.

PFL CEO Donn Davis said last month that PFL will no longer run events under the Bellator banner effectively ending the promotion’s run. It seems to have added more confusion to the situation with fighters, and champions, like Mix trying to figure out where they fit in with PFL.

I’ve always showed up to put it on the line have never turned down a single fight. Right now in perspective as a healthy world champion I fought just once going on 15 months now. All my momentum in my career has been lost, As this is the longest layoff of my 31 fights I’ve had between amateur and pro,” Mix wrote.

I’m 20-1 now close to 5 years undefeated. I’ve finished my last 13/15 opponents and am legitimately one round removed from a perfect 21-0. Not boring entertainer either since I have an 80 percent finish rate. I KNOW I’m the best in the world at bantamweight and I want to prove this.

Last time fans saw Mix (20-1) in the cage was last May where he defended his title for the second time earning a split-decision win over Magomed Magomedov. Before that he was the co-main event against Sergio Pettis at Bellator 301 in 2023.

I ask this with the upmost respect and urgency from@dscct@pflmma PLEASE RELEASE ‼️ me from my contract so I can perform to make money and do what I have to do to support my family. I’m in the prime of my career and I’m the BEST. I should be able to compete against the other best fighters In the world and not be on the shelf,” he wrote.

If the sky was the limit I’m on the moon right now skill wise and there should be only one octagon I display my skill set in. Plus the ambassador for @pflmma is @francisngannou I mean I’m a world champion out of the same gym and you personally see how hard I work and try to be a leader for this team. This is no way to treat a champion. RELEASE patchy mix ‼️

PFL decided to release Patricio Pitbull last month, but it’s to be seen if they’ll give Mix the same courtesy.
