Bantamweight champion Uneven mixing will try to make his second title defense in Paris.
Mixture (20-1) meets Leandro Higo (23-6) in the main event of Bellator Champions Series: Paris on November 16 at the ADIDAS Arena in Paris, the promotion announced on Tuesday. The event will be co-headlined by the undefeated French Baissangour Chamsoudinov (8-0), which assumes Oliver Enkamp (11-4) in the welterweight fight.
After unifying the bantamweight title with a second-round submission of Sergio Pettis last November at Bellator 301, Mix earned his first title defense with a split decision victory over Magomed Magomedov in May in Paris.
Higo will get a second shot at the Bellator bantamweight title after back-to-back wins over Nikita Mikhailov and James Gallagher on short notice at featherweight. The 35-year-old Brazilian has won five of the last six.
The Bellator Champions Series: Paris schedule includes:
-
Patchy Mix x Leandro Higo – for the bantamweight title
-
Baissangour Chamsoudinov x Oliver Enkamp
