Paris (12:00pm CEST July 23) – The Professional Fighters League (PFL), the fastest growing and most innovative sports league, today announced that Bellator Champions Series Paris will see the return of Bellator Bantamweight World Champion Patchy “No Love” Mix (20-1) as he looks to defend his title against Brazilian challenger Leandro “Pitbull” Higo (23-6) in the headline event at the Adidas Arena on November 16. Tickets for Bellator Champions Series Paris are on sale from 10:00am CEST Thursday, July 25 on adidasarena.com and ticketmaster.fr. Patchy Mix aims to solidify his status as the greatest MMA athlete in the world at 135 pounds and go 2-0 in Paris this year following his split decision win over Magomed Magomedov in May. Leandro Higo is coming off a win over James Gallagher at Bellator Champions Series Belfast in March 2024, and seeks to lay claim to the title this November. The co-main event will be a hugely anticipated affair for French fans as undefeated Baissangour “Baki” Chamsoudinov (8-0) returns to action on home soil after defeating local rival Cédric Doumbé in controversial fashion earlier this year. His fight at Welterweight will be the first since re-signing with PFL and will take place against seasoned Swedish fighter Oliver Enkamp (11-4). “We are back in the French capital to put on another incredible show for the people of Paris, and we can’t wait for our debut in the Adidas Arena. To bring the fireworks, we’re returning with one of the best bantamweights of all time in our World Champion Patchy Mix, who looks to stay undefeated in Paris with his title fight against challenger Leandro Higo in what will be a showcase of elite mixed martial arts.” Said Peter Murray, CEO of PFL. He continues: “And we know Paris will welcome back one of the biggest prospects in all of MMA, France’s own Baissangour Chamsoudinov. At just 22 years old, with a perfect record of 8-0, and having already headlined in Paris, this man is a phenom who will be one to watch for years to come. But he’s up against an experienced athlete in Oliver Enkamp who will look to spoil the party for the French, so we’re excited to see who comes out on top.” Bellator Champions Series Paris will stream live in France and in the U.K. on DAZN beginning at 5pm CEST / 4pm BST, and will stream in the U.S. on Max at 11am ET.
