James Gallagher was not happy with his opponent Patchy Mix ahead of their clash at Bellator 270 on Friday. The pair had been exchanging words all week leading up to the fight.

The fight is set to take place in the bantamweight division of Bellator, which means both fighters are not allowed to way above 136 pounds. James Gallagher made it down to the contracted weight of 136.

Patchy Mix did not make the contracted weight ahead of Bellator 270. The former title challenger came in at 137.8. Almost two pounds over the allowed weight of 136.

James Gallagher let the world know his feelings with a simple tweet. “He’s already beat. His mind his [sic] weak”

It's obvious James Gallagher meant ‘is' but the Tweet remains an aggressive one. Bellator 270 will still go on as planned.

Many fighters see making weight as mental practice. It's painful and uncomfortable but you can make it through if your mind is strong.

Weight cutting is obviously a very controversial topic in MMA and many feel it's unnecessary. In this case, it would have prevented Patchy Mix from competing for a title.

Bellator 270 is a hyped event as both bantamweights have been going back and forth with each other for years. The clash has been a long time in the making and the trash-talk is still going.

The Irishman is looking for a big victory that will catapult him as the next big superstar for Bellator and Irish MMA. He will get the opportunity against a game Patchy Mix.
