Prediction: Mario Bautista VS Patchy Mix 2025-06-07

The moment of truth for Patchy Mix, the former Bellator bantamweight champion, as he makes his highly anticipated UFC debut against the tenth-ranked bantamweight contender, Mario Bautista. Mix, with a stellar 20-1 record, is looking to make a statement in the UFC, while Bautista, riding a seven-fight winning streak, aims to prove himself as a top contender.

The odds are in Mix's favor, with BetOnline.ag listing him as the favorite at 1.54, followed closely by BetRivers at 1.55, and FanDuel at 1.56. Bautista, on the other hand, is listed as the underdog, with prices ranging from 2.45 at BetRivers to 2.6 at BetOnline.ag and Caesars.

Given the stats and odds, my best bet for this matchup is Patchy Mix to win. His superior ground skills and dominant position on the ground will likely give him the edge he needs to take down Bautista. I predict Mix will get Bautista's back and finish the fight with a submission.

The spread at DraftKings, with Mix at -3.5, is also an attractive option, considering Mix's ability to control the fight and potentially finish it with a stoppage. However, my top pick remains a straight win for Mix.

Best Bet: Patchy Mix to win at 1.54 (BetOnline.ag) or 1.55 (BetRivers).
