Patchy Mix and Tatiana Suarez are winning in and out of the cage.
Ahead of his bantamweight championship title defense in the main event of Bellator Paris on Friday, Mix proposed to his longtime girlfriend Suarez in front of the world-famous Eiffel Tower. Suarez is an undefeated fighter in the UFC’s strawweight division.
Watch video of the proposal below.
Appropriately accompanied by French music, Mix and Suarez are shown sharing a tender moment before Mix issues a classic marriage proposal on bended knee. Though there is no audio of the dialogue, based on Suarez’s enthusiastic reaction, it’s safe to assume she said, ‘Yes.”
The happy couple continue to embrace on camera, while Suarez shows off her new jewelry.
Mix looks to leave Paris with his bantamweight title when he fights Magomed Magomedov in Friday’s main event. This is the second meeting between the two, with Mix having defeated Magomedov via submission in their first fight in December 2022.
Suarez awaits her next booking, though the 10-0 strawweight could be in line for a UFC title shot when she returns to the octagon. In her most recent outing, Suarez defeated former champion Jessica Andrade via submission to give her seven consecutive UFC victories.
Together, the fighters form an impressive power couple, with both holding spots in the MMA Fighting Pound-for-Pound Rankings. Mix sits at No. 13 on the men’s side, while Suarez is currently tied for No. 5 among the women with PFL star Larissa Pacheco.
