Bellator Champions Series: Paris headlined by Patchy Mix vs. Leandro Higo bantamweight title fight

Bantamweight champion Patchy Mix will look to make his second title defense in Paris.

Mix (20-1) meets Leandro Higo (23-6) in the main event of Bellator Champions Series: Paris on Nov. 16 at ADIDAS Arena in Paris, the promotion announced Tuesday. The event will be co-headlined by France’s undefeated Baissangour Chamsoudinov (8-0), who takes on Oliver Enkamp (11-4) in a welterweight bout.

After unifying the bantamweight title with a second-round submission of Sergio Pettis this past November at Bellator 301, Mix notched his first title defense with a split decision win over Magomed Magomedov in May in Paris.

Higo will earn 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 his past six.

The Bellator Champions Series: Paris lineup includes:

• Patchy Mix vs. Leandro Higo – for bantamweight title
• Baissangour Chamsoudinov vs. Oliver Enkamp
