Mario Bautista vs. Patchy Mix prediction, pick, start time for UFC 316

Mario Bautista vs. Patchy Mix prediction, pick, start time for UFC 316 Patchy Mix finally gets the chance to prove himself on the biggest stage at UFC 316. Will Mario Bautista spoil his debut? Mario Bautista and Patchy Mix meet Saturday on the main card of UFC 316 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Check out this quick breakdown of the matchup from MMA Junkie analyst Dan Tom. Last event: 3-2 UFC main cards, 2025: 49-41-1 Mario Bautista vs. Patchy Mix UFC 316 preview Bautista (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) has the opportunity to play spoiler in the debut of a big-name bantamweight with championship promise. Entering on a seven-fight winning streak, Bautista is confident that he can extend his victorious run. In 2024, Bautista, 31, picked up the two biggest wins of his career thus far in decision wins over Ricky Simon and UFC Hall of Famer Jose Aldo. ... Mix (20-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) finally gets his chance to prove his skills in the UFC. The former Bellator champion has widely been considered to be one of the best bantamweights on the planet. Frustration with lack of fights led to his exit from the PFL. Mix's last appearance was a split decision win over Magomed Magomdeov last May to record his second Bellator title defense. Mario Bautista vs. Patchy Mix UFC 316 expert pick, prediction Serving as a solid bantamweight attraction is a matchup between Bautista and Mix. Making his long-awaited promotional debut on short notice, this opportunity has been something that Mix has low-key been preparing for for some time now. That said, Bautista is a deceptively tough test that deserves to be acknowledged. Bautista isn't exactly Mr. Popular at the moment after banking a controversial decision over fan favorite Jose Aldo at UFC 307 last year, but that doesn't change the fact that he's an incredibly well-rounded fighter who is on a serious 7-fight win streak. Mix's win streak could also be overlooked for similar reasons coming off of his last fight, but that was well over a year ago as I suggest leaving some room to be surprised as far as potential skill jumps go. It's hard to say exactly how comfortable Bautista is against UFC-level southpaws given that he has a limited 1-1 sample size, but I do wonder how well his game will function without the outlet of his grappling. And though Bautista is a sound scrambler who gets stronger as the fight goes on, he does tend to surrender a lot of takedowns and positions early that Mix could make hay with. A submission win from the final Bellator champion shouldn't shock anyone, but I'll officially pick Mix to edge out a decision over Bautista in a fight that I see being ultra-competitive down the stretch. Mario Bautista vs. Patchy Mix UFC 316 odds The oddsmakers and the public favor the final Bellator champion, listing Mix -180 and Bautista +146 via FanDuel. Mario Bautista vs. Patchy Mix UFC 316 start time, how to watch Bautista and Mix are expected to walk to the cage at approximately 9:40 p.m. ET. The fight broadcasts on ESPN+ pay-per-view.

Kelvin Gastelum vs. Joe Pyfer prediction, pick, start time for UFC 316

Kelvin Gastelum vs. Joe Pyfer prediction, pick, start time for UFC 316 Middleweights Kelvin Gastelum and Joe Pyfer have been rebooked for the UFC 316 main card. Will striking be the determining factor? Kelvin Gastelum and Joe Pyfer meet Saturday on the main card of UFC 316 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Check out this quick breakdown of the matchup from MMA Junkie analyst Dan Tom. Last event: 3-2 UFC main cards, 2025: 49-41-1 Kelvin Gastelum vs. Joe Pyfer UFC 316 preview Gastelum (19-9 MMA, 13-9 UFC) will aim to make it back-to-back wins for the first time since 2017-18. The former interim title challenger has gone 3-5 since that opportunity for a piece of the title. However, he's 2-1 over his last three, including a unanimous decision over Daniel Rodriguez in his last appearance a year ago. ... Pyfer (13-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) also looks to stay in the win column and make it two in a row after a first-round stoppage of Marc-Andre Barriault last year. Pyfer's lone UFC loss came in the fight prior, a unanimous decision against Jack Hermansson. Thus far, Pyfer has yet to reach the judges in his victorious UFC outings. Kelvin Gastelum vs. Joe Pyfer UFC 316 expert pick, prediction Filling out the main card is a middleweight rebooking between Gastelum and Pyfer. This was initially slated to take place a couple of months back in Mexico City, but Pyfer notably fell ill at the eleventh hour and the fight was moved to this weekend. Gastelum looks to be in solid shape coming into this contest, but it's impossible to deny his lack of size in this division and the lack of consistency he's shown throughout this back half of his career. I suspect that Pyfer will hit his own hard ceilings in this division, but I also believe that he's a better wrestler and grappler than he's given credit for – which is particularly relevant to this matchup given Gastelum's traditional weaknesses. Add in the fact that Pyfer comes from a grappling-heavy camp that's currently red-hot in the UFC and already owns wins over his opponent, and I can't help but pick Pyfer to roll here. The official pick is Pyfer by submission in Round 2. Kelvin Gastelum vs. Joe Pyfer UFC 316 odds The oddsmakers and the public favor the Contender Series product, listing Pyfer -420 and Gastelum +310 via FanDuel. Kelvin Gastelum vs. Joe Pyfer UFC 316 start time, how to watch Gastelum and Pyfer are expected to walk to the cage at approximately 10:10 p.m. ET. The fight broadcasts on ESPN+ pay-per-view.
