Bautista vs. Oliveira Official for UFC Vegas 113 as Four Fighters Miss Weight

The Paramount+ era opens at Meta APEX with short-notice newcomer Gianni Vazquez stepping in following Said Nurmagomedov’s travel withdrawal.

Overview

  • Four fighters missed weight: Muin Gafurov and Gianni Vazquez were five pounds over, and Wang Cong and Eduarda Moura also came in heavy, resulting in 25% purse fines and loss of bonus eligibility as the bouts proceed.
  • Vazquez replaces Nurmagomedov on short notice against Javid Basharat after the latter withdrew late in the week because of visa and travel issues.
  • UFC Vegas 113 streams exclusively on Paramount+, with prelims at 5 p.m. ET and the main card at 8 p.m. ET from the Meta APEX.
  • Betting markets favor Bautista in the -150 to -170 range with Oliveira as the underdog, as both enter their first UFC main event with top-15 bantamweight stakes.
