UFC Fight Night on February 7 delivers an intriguing bantamweight main event as the surging technician Mario Bautista collides with the aggressive and dangerous Oliveira. This matchup pits consistency, pace, and control against explosiveness, pressure, and finishing instincts.

Bautista has quietly become one of the division’s most reliable minute-winners, while Oliveira brings real volatility — the kind that can flip a fight in seconds. Will Bautista’s discipline and cardio shine over five rounds, or can Oliveira force chaos and steal the spotlight?

Below are our best bets, fight-by-fight predictions, and a quick guide on how to wager at DraftKings. Feel free to check out our other betting tools across all sports, or if you are looking for more UFC, check out our DFS picks and lineups!

 

 

 

UFC Fight Night: Bautista vs. Oliveira: Main Card Picks

  • Location: UFC Apex
  • Broadcast: ESPN+
  • Main Card Start: Saturday 2/7/2026 – 7:00 PM ET

Mario Bautista vs. Oliveira (Main Event)

This fight comes down to who will win the big moments (Oliveira) vs who will win the minutes (Bautista). On DraftKings, both of these guys are viable plays, but I think for a bet, the best way to attack this is for Bautista to weather the early storm and win a decision.  

  • Prediction: Bautista by decision
  • Best Bet: Bautista by Decision +230

Co-Main Event Amir Albazi vs Kyoji Horiguchi

Horiguchi is a massive favorite here, and while I think he could be on the short list of future champion contenders, this is a tough fight for him to look impressive in. Albazi is very low volume and limits the risks he takes, so I see this hitting the judges' scorecards. Lowering Horiguchi’s line from nearly -400 to -110 seems like the best way to attack this.

  • Best Bet: Horiguchi by Decision -110

Long Shot Bet – Julius Walker vs Dustin Jacoby

Jacoby is starting to age, and the ultra-athletic Walker is making massive improvements from fight to fight.  I think Walker gets this done inside the distance, but rather than making a pick on how he gets it done, I think the safest way is to just play him to win inside the distance, so if he gets the submission or KO, we get the win.

  • Best Bet: Julius Walker Inside the Distance +300
