The MMA pros and fans have reacted after Mario Bautista returned to winning ways earlier tonight at UFC Vegas 113 with a slick second-round submission win over Vinicius Oliveira.
Bautista proved there are levels to this game and completely dominated the fight in every aspect. In the second round the Brazilian had already been gassed and Bautista, looking fresh and hungry, wasted no time in scoring another takedown.
The 32-year-old started to fire up Oliveira with strikes and soon took his back as the latter focused on not gassing out and quickly sank into a rear-naked choke that forced the tap.
After raising his hand at UFC Vegas 113, Bautista talked about how he fixed the holes in his ground game that were evident in his last fight against Umar Nurmagomedov. He then closed out the night by calling out Cory Sandhagen to reverse it.
