Pettis, 30, has been victorious in all his five Bellator shows since leaving the UFC in 2019 after a win. Pettis secured his belt with a win against Juan Archuleta, following which he defended it on two occasions against Kyoji Horiguchi and Patricio Pitbull. Mix, the New York native, also boasts of a five-win streak in Bellator and currently holds the interim title.
