UFC will hold two fight night competitions with hot action at the newly renovated Las Vegas Meta Apex. The series consists of a spectacular match between top bantamweight and featherweight rankers.

Ranked ninth Mario Batista (32, USA) will face Vinicius Oliveira (30, Brazil) at the UFC Fight Night: Batista vs Oliveira on the 8th (Korea Standard Time).

It's a battle between the old and new powers of the bantam grade. Batista currently has a phenomenal record of winning eight consecutive UFC bantamweight titles. Batista, who has been on the rise by beating Jose Aldo and Ricky Simone, aims to enter the top five by decorating the main event for the first time in his life with a hot finish.

However, Batista was embroiled in controversy during the 2024 match against Aldo. Batista won 2-1 against Aldo. However, according to Forbes and others, after the match between Batista and Aldo, some experts raised the possibility of biased judgment. Lightweight contenter Renato Moicano also claimed on his personal social network service (SNS) that "it was an unfair decision."

In fact, Aldo squatted in the corner of the cage after the defeat, shook his head and made a firm face. Aldo is a legendary fighter inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.

Oliveira, ranked 13th against Batista, is a hot hitter. Oliveira, who is from Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS) and has been undefeated since entering the UFC, seeks to settle for the top 10 bantamweight through another KO victory.

Then on March 15, featherweight "Veteran big guns" Josh Emmett (40, USA) will return to Octagon. Emmett, who has the most knockdowns (12 times) in featherweight history, marks 11th in the ranking.

Emmett's opponent is Argentina's new star Kevin Bachejos (24). Ranked 13th, Bachejos is the top featherweight prospect who proved himself by beating Gi-Chikaze and Choi Seung-woo one after another, and plans to establish himself as a top contenter through a match against this veteran.

Both competitions are held at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas. Undercard starts at 8 a.m. and main card starts at 11 a.m.
