Mario Bautista ended the Vinicius Oliveira hype train last night (Sat., Feb. 7, 2026) at UFC Vegas 113 LIVE on Paramount+ from inside Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, as the veteran stopped “Lok Dog” with an impressive second-round submission (rear-naked choke).
Oliveira never really looked comfortable in this fight. Bautista was advancing for most of the first round and utilized some timely takedowns to keep Oliveira guessing. Oliveira returned fire with wild punches from weird angles, but nothing really landed. The momentum was swinging pretty heavily towards Bautista.
In Round 2, it was Oliveira who tried to change levels with a takedown. “Lok Dog” got Bautista to the ground, but the veteran quickly reversed and ended up in top control. Bautista was then able to trap Oliveira in a crucifix and started to land short punches. Oliveira needed to break free and he did, but left his back open. Bautista took it and locked up the quick rear-naked choke for the even quicker tap.
