      Brett Okamoto has reported on mixed martial arts and boxing at ESPN since 2010. He has covered all of the biggest events in combat sports during that time, including in-depth interviews and features with names such as Dana White, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz, Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao and Georges St-Pierre. He was also a producer on the 30 for 30 film: «Chuck and Tito,» which looked back at the careers and rivalry of Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz. He lives in Las Vegas, and is an avid, below-average golfer in his spare time.

A bantamweight matchup between Mario Bautista and Vinicius Oliveira will headline UFC Fight Night on Feb. 7 in Las Vegas, officials announced on Saturday.

The UFC Fight Night card will take place at the Apex facility and will mark the first UFC Fight Night event on Paramount+ as part of the promotion’s new domestic broadcast deal. The first two numbered events of the deal will take place on back-to-back weekends with UFC 324 and UFC 325 on Jan. 24 and Jan. 31, respectively.

Bautista and Oliveira are ranked No. 9 and No. 12, respectively, among bantamweights. Bautista (16-3) had won eight in a row before dropping a unanimous decision to Umar Nurmagomedov in October. Oliveira (23-3) has emerged in the division with wins over Kyler Phillips and Said Nurmagomedov.
