Raufeon Stots doesn’t think he was in the ideal circumstances to win the Bellator bantamweight grand prix this past April. Stots lost his Bellator interim title and the opportunity to crown himself winner of the 135-pound bantamweight tournament that the promotion launched last year, as he was quickly knocked out by Patchy Mix in the main event of Bellator 295. Although Stots (19-2 MMA, 7-1 BMMA) respects Mix, he’s convinced he didn’t enter 100 percent into the cage, as he fainted during his weight cut prior to the fight. “I’m hoping that I can have my rematch against Patchy,” Stots told MMA Junkie Radio
