Ag.Fight was first to report the news.
After 13 UFC appearances, Bautista (16-3) is finally headlining his first UFC card. The 32-year-old is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Umar Nurmagomedov, which snapped his impressive eight-fight winning streak. Before that setback, he rattled off wins over Patchy Mix (details), Jose Aldo, Ricky Simon, and Da’Mon Blackshear.
Bautista is 10-3 inside the Octagon and will be looking to exact revenge for his teammate.
Oliveira (23-3) will also headline his first UFC event. He’s coming off a unanimous decision win over Bautista’s teammate Kyler Phillips at UFC 318 and is riding a six-fight winning streak overall.

“Lok Dog” has been perfect thus far in the Octagon, launching his UFC career in emphatic fashion with a picture-perfect flying knee knockout of Benardo Sopaj — a finish that earned him both “Performance of the Night” and “Fight of the Night” bonuses (watch highlights).
With a win over Bautista, Oliveira will likely break into the Top 10 of the stacked Bantamweight division.
The only other fight currently reported for this Apex event is Uran Satybaldiev vs. Julius Walker.
