Top rival inspires Bautista's victory

The Straits Times

February 09, 2026

Bantamweight Mario Bautista passed his first Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) main-event test with flying colours, securing a second-round rear-naked-choke submission against Vinicius Oliveira of Brazil to cap a six-fight UFC Vegas 113 main card on Feb 7 in Las Vegas.

American Bautista (17-3 MMA, 11-3 UFC) earned his first submission win since March 2023, which also came by the same method. Oliveira (23-4 MMA, 4-1 UFC) had not lost since July 2022.

“I met the top of that level and it rubbed off on me tonight,” Bautista, 32, said following the stoppage win.

The co-headliner saw flyweight Kyoji Horiguchi’s productive striking make the difference, as the Japanese fighter won a unanimous decision 30-27, 30-27, 29-28 against Iraq’s Amir Albazi to increase his flyweight winning streak to five in a row.
