Former featherweight champion Patricio 'Pitbull' Freire and top contender Aaron Pico publicly requested their releases, with the former having his granted before joining the UFC.

When did Patchy Mix last compete for PFL?
Patchy Mix last competed under the PFL banner at Bellator Champions Series 2: Paris, which took place on May 17, 2024.
Mix headlined the event and earned a split-decision win over Magomed Magomedov to successfully retain his bantamweight championship for the first time. It was his lone bout in 2024 as the promotion canceled an event later that year, where his next title defense against Leandro Higo was scheduled.
In another Instagram post, Mix mentioned that he has continued to learn and improve during his hiatus. He also trained with UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili:
"Coming up on close to a year outside of the cage, after going neck and neck to retain my world title last May. I'm motivated now more than ever to show the world what I've been working on and the things I've added to my game."
