Mario Bautista (15-2-0) versus Patchy Mix (20-1-0) is an exciting UFC Bantamweight matchup on Saturday night at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Bautista will be looking to give his opponent a rude welcome into the franchise and improve his No. 10 rank in the bantamweight division. He is currently riding on a hot winning streak, with his latest victory coming against Jose Aldo at UFC 307 in October 2024. The 31-year-old is a great underdog in this matchup.
Patchy Mix, meanwhile, will be looking to make a lasting impression in the franchise. However, the 31-year-old is an experienced fighter who initially won the Bellator bantamweight title. He has participated in more bouts than his competitor has and boasts an MMA record of 20 victories and only a single loss. "No Love" has also defeated some hot shots in his career, including Albert Morales and Magomed Magomedov twice. He's undoubtedly the man to watch in the division.

Our Mario Bautista vs Patchy Mix Prediction
This could be a highly competitive matchup, as seen in the moneyline betting odds. Mario Bautista comes into the fight with UFC experience and is a savage submission specialist. He is riding on a seven-fight winning record, bagging submission victories on four occasions. However, Mix has superior grappling skills, and more than half of his MMA victories were through submission. He will also want to prove that he's among the best fighters in the category despite fighting outside the franchise. A win on Saturday should set the tone for his unstoppable UFC dominance.
