Mario Bautista is ranked #4 at UFC bantamweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.
The game is built on grappling: 2.5 takedowns per 15 minutes, and opponents spend rounds defending instead of fighting. 7 submission wins say what happens when the defense slips.
Most recent outing: a win over Cory Sandhagen via decision - unanimous. Business handled.
