Mario
Bautista wants to avenge his loss against Cory
Sandhagen at some point.

Bautista suffered a first-round submission loss against Sandhagen
in his
UFC debut back in 2019. However, Baustista has since racked up
an 8-1 promotional record, which includes a current six-fight
winning streak.

Bautista is now scheduled to face arguably his toughest test since
Sandhagen in Jose Aldo on
the UFC 307
main card on Saturday at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
If he gets past Aldo and maintains his upward climb, Bautista would
like to run it back with “The Sandman” before eyeing someone higher
up the rankings.

„If things go well and I keep moving up, I wouldn’t want to look
past Cory Sandhagen — especially since it was my debut fight,”
Bautista told Home of Fight. “I’ve worked all this way just to get
back here, and he’s still in front of me… So it wouldn’t feel right
to pass him or skip ahead of him if I ever had that opportunity. So
if everything goes well I’d like to fight Cory again.”

Bautista’s six-fight winning streak — which includes three finishes
— is topped off by a unanimous decision win over Ricky Simon
in his last outing this past January. Meanwhile, Aldo is coming off
a unanimous decision win over Jonathan
Martinez at UFC 301 in May, that saw him rebound from a loss
against reigning champ Merab
Dvalishvili.

Meanwhile, Sandhagen is coming off unanimous decision loss against
Umar
Nurmagomedov that saw a three-fight winning streak snapped.
