Patchy Mix’s 2024 Bellator Win Disputed After French Overturn, With ABC Keeping It a Win

Conflicting French and Mohegan drug tests left the result in limbo.

Overview

  • France’s MMA regulator (FMMAF) notified Tapology that Mix’s May 2024 split-decision win over Magomed Magomedov was overturned to a loss due to a positive test, reportedly for marijuana.
  • Mohegan regulator Mike Mazzulli says the event’s SMRTL-administered testing on Mix was negative and confirmed he is not overturning the result through the Association of Boxing Commissions.
  • The ABC registry currently lists Mix with the original victory, and MMA Fighting reports that listing will stand.
  • Tapology has flagged the FMMAF action by marking the bout as overturned to a loss, yet it continues to tally the original win in Mix’s statistical record.
  • Key details such as formal sanction notices, lab documentation, or financial implications have not been disclosed, and the ruling conflicts with MMA’s common practice of changing such results to no contests.
