"I think the UFC made a good choice, a good match-up. Because he's a boring fighter, and I think the UFC wanted to put him out," suggested Oliveira during Wednesday's UFC Vegas 113 media day. "And he [will give me] the chance to put him out."
"Sure, the first round."
"I don't bring no changes. I'll be myself, I'll be my all, I'm the same Lok Dog as ever, the same style, Lok Dog style," stated Oliveira. "I'm trying to [move] forward inside the cage every single second. I'm looking for the TKO in the first round like ever. The same Lok Dog style."
Vinicius Oliveira will headline UFC Vegas 113 against Mario Bautista. Oliveira holds a 23‑3 record and has four fights in the UFC. Oliveira characterizes Bautista as a boring fighter and sees the matchup as an opportunity to stop him. Oliveira expects to finish Bautista in the first round and does not plan any changes for a five‑round main event. Oliveira fights under the nickname 'Lok Dog,' emphasizes forward pressure, and seeks a first‑round TKO. Oliveira anticipates a major 2026, plans a midyear fight against a top‑5 opponent, and projects a title fight by year‑end.
