Following Volkanovski vs. Lopes 2 – UFC Superfight 2026, the action continues at the UFC Apex Arena, Las Vegas. The first Night Card for the Paramount+ streaming era of UFC, Mario Bautista squares off against Vinicius Oliveira for a Fight Night Bantamweight bout. Let’s take a closer look at the players, match style, and where you can stream this and every other UFC event online:
Mario Bautista – The King of the Grind
Currently (16-3) in the ring, Mario Bautista is one of the veterans in the category, ready to shine in the octagon again. Hailing from Arizona, Bautista is known for his unwavering commitment, which has helped him become one of the most renowned and resilient fighters in the category.
Although this will be his first main event after six years, the current number 9 has his eyes set on the prize already. Bautista’s signature submission grappling is immensely deadly, so much so that he has secured 6 rear-naked chokes in his career.
His wins over José Aldo and Miles Johns showcased that Bautista is also an expert when it comes to looking at the opponent right in the eye. His winning streak came to an end with the unanimous decision against Umar Nurmagomedov, an off-setting experience for the fighter.
Vinicius Oliveira – The Brazilian Phenom
Vinicius "LokDog" Oliveira, the Brazilian mixed martial artist and rapper, is ready to take the fight straight to Bautista this coming Sunday. The ‘Dynamic’ fighter brings a storm of offensive strikes, devastating enough to demolish the strong footing of his opponent.
His win against Victor Madrigal via first-round knockout was his ticket to the big leagues. However, it’s Oliveira’s ‘unpredictable’ fighting style that takes him ahead. His opponents are always ‘extra’ on their toes, predicting what might come next. It’s what shocked Bernardo Sopaj, a flying knee, earning Oliveira his first promotional win.
But his versatile fighting style stems from his years of practice in Brazilian jiujutsu, making him a threat when fighting face to face or on the ground. Such a versatile yet punishing fighting style has earned him numerous victories, and with his 23-3 record, he’s eyeing another against Bautista.
Match Style Breakdown
The octagon naturally favors the one with better grappling technique. The ones who are able to tire the opponent into submission. However, we can’t neglect the devastating knockouts, where not even the cage will come into play.
Both fighters are extremely talented in their fighting styles. However, it might be suitable to say that Bautista has more advantages, considering his grappling game is strong. Oliveira, on the other hand, is a precision master, which allows him to engage his opponents often. But if an opportunity is missed, he needs time to recalibrate, and even a second is enough for Bautista to capitalize.
In addition, Bautista focuses on ‘reducing the ground’ for his opponents by pressuring them. This will test the Brazilian Phenom to counter immediately, denying Bautista any openings and forcing him to go defensive, something that Oliveira can exploit easily.
Why this Fight Matters for UFC in 2026?
The submission specialist versus the dynamic striker, the fight packs the action that brings consumers into the arena and to online platforms. However, there are certain elements that UFC is focusing on with this fight.
This match will give a chance to experienced fighters to step up the ladder and grab further opportunities as retirement closes in, allowing them to strengthen their fan base and see which fighter will prevail and become a threat to the division to watch out for.
In terms of business, UFC intends to promote the event pertaining to each player’s profile. From Oliveira’s unbeaten run so far to Bautista’s gritty return, the match will be engaging crowd immensely. Standard tickets and subscriptions to Paramount+ are already promoted and sold.
