It’s not just UFC Strawweight Tatiana Suarez is an undefeated 11-0 fighter. It’s that she has fought uphill battles outside the cage before getting a title shot inside the Octagon that makes her an interesting figure. While we do know a lot about her fighting career, her fight with cancer, and the Olympics dream that was foiled, what about some other key aspects of her personal life?

Who are the people that motivate her through the highs and lows of MMA? Who is her life partner who supports her through everything? Did you know she was also a part of an MMA couple – her partner being Bellator champ Patchy Mix? Let’s dive in and see the answer to all these questions.

How did Tatiana Suarez and Patchy Mix meet?

Tatiana Suarez is happily in a relationship with Bantamweight MMA star Patrick ‘Patchy’ Mix. The couple are winning both in and out of the cage as they climb higher together. Both of them support each other through their career and personal endeavors and guess what? Mix even proposed to her in 2024!

Their love story kicked off back in 2023 around the time Suarez defeated Montana De La Rosa in February 2023. Speaking to The MMA Hour, Suarez said Mix helped her get back into MMA after a four-year break.

She said, “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.” She added how he helped her through her slump and even her knee injury and said, “I had Pat and he’s supported me along the way.” Finally, after their first year of relationship, Mix proposed to her in front of the world-famous Eiffel Tower and she said yes! She even uploaded a heartfelt moment on Instagram expressing her love for Mix.

The proposal was perfectly accompanied by French music, and the duo shared a delicate moment before Mix made a classic marriage proposal by getting down on one knee. The fighters form a power couple with both holding significant spots in the MMA sphere. Patchy Mix is on a record of 20-1 with a win over Magomed Magomedov and Kairat Akhmetov. Suarez is set to fight Zhang Weili after winning against Jessica Andrade in 2023.

Patchy Mix’s MMA career

Mix has competed in  Bellator and Rizin and is considered to be one of the best bantamweights in the world. He has achieved a lot including winning the Bellator Bantamweight title in 2023 by getting an electrifying KO against Sergio Pettis in Round 2.

He even defeated Magomed Magomedov by a split decision in April 2024 and won in Bellator Champion Series in Paris. ‘No Love’ has been in the pro-MMA scene since 2013 and has only gotten better. Recently the Bellator bantamweight champion has demanded his release from PFL because of the uncertainty with the promotion and might try for UFC. Apart from his career what is going on in his personal life? Yes, he is engaged to Suarez but do they have children? 

Do Suarez and Mix have children together?

As of now, there is no news of the couple having any children. However, Mix does have a daughter from a previous relationship. She was born in 2018. The couple often share their moments on Instagram. Suarez even shared a birthday post for Mix where she included his daughter as well.
