When Tatiana Suarez revealed Patchy Mix’s support for her comeback

Tatiana Suarez opened up about the crucial role her partner, Patchy Mix, played in her return to MMA after a four-year absence. Speaking on The MMA Hour, Suarez detailed how Mix’s unwavering support helped her navigate the emotional challenges of her comeback.

Suarez met Mix prior to her victory over Montana De La Rosa. At the time, she was still adjusting to competition after injuries sidelined her career. She recalled moments when she felt overwhelmed, and Mix stepped in to provide comfort and encouragement:

"When I met him, I was bubbling around, it was right before the fight that I was supposed to have and I met him but nothing came out of that. Definitely helped me, there were days where I would just be crying and I didn't even know this guy that well yet, he's just like 'I'll make you dinner and breakfast,' stuff like that. I'm very grateful for that because I was in Vegas by myself, didn't have anybody. I had Pat and he's supported me along the way." [h/t The Sun]
