\"Ateba<\/a>UFC318: Gautier v Valentin Ateba Gautier and Robert Valentin meet in the octagon for a 3-round bout for UFC318 \u2013 Holloway vs Poirier 3 at Smoothie King Center on July 19, 2025 in New Orleans, LA Photo by Louis Grasse\/PxImages\/ABACAPRESS.COM New Orleans, LA NEW ORLEANS, LA United States PUBLICATIONxNOTxINxFRAxUK Copyright: xPXxImages\/ABACAx<\/p>\n

With both the main<\/a> and co-main events<\/a> of Saturday\u2019s card being championship fights, this is going to be an amazing show from top to bottom. All told, this event features 14 fights inside the fabled Octagon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UFC 320 Featured Prelim: Ateba Gautier vs. Tre\u2019Ston Vines<\/p>\n

At the top of the bill for the undercard this weekend, the middleweights take to the cage when Ateba Gautier (8-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) squares off against Tre\u2019Ston Vines (10-3 MMA, UFC promotional debut.) Vines, who had been scheduled to compete in LFA 219 next Friday, is a late replacement for Gautier\u2019s original opponent, Ozzy Dias (10-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC,) who withdrew from UFC 320. All fights mentioned herein are an advertised maximum of three rounds at five minutes per round.<\/p>\n

Gautier has proved impressive thus far in his young UFC career, scoring two post-fight bonuses in a row. He\u2019s gone 5-0 in his last five fights dating back to 2023. Back on July 19, he traveled to New Orleans to fight Robert Valentin (10-6, 1 NC MMA, 0-3 UFC,) winning by first-round (punches) in just a minute and 10 seconds during UFC 318.<\/p>\n

Although Gautier\u2019s UFC tenure is in its earliest days, the fact that he\u2019s fighting on his second pay-per-view undercard in a row speaks volumes as to how high the promotion is on him. Can he deliver again?<\/p>\n

Across the way, Tre\u2019Ston Vines makes his freshman appearance under the UFC promotional banner this weekend on a quick turnaround. On Aug. 30, he stopped Ethan Hughes (3-2 MMA) with strikes inside the opening round in Alabama Fighting Championship\u2019s AFC 12: The Great Commission.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s only had about five weeks to prepare for this fight. Only time will tell if he can score the win in his UFC debut.<\/p>\n

UFC 320 Co-Featured Prelim: Edmen Shahbazyan vs. Andre Muniz<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have more middleweight action as the focus of the UFC 320 co-featured prelim when Edmen Shahbazyan<\/a> (15-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) fights Andre Muniz<\/a> (24-7 MMA, 6-3 UFC.) Shahbazyan will be making his third walk to the Octagon this year with a record of 3-2 in his last five fights.<\/p>\n

At present, he\u2019s on a two-fight winning streak. Last time out, he scored a unanimous decision victory in Atlanta<\/a> on June 14 against Andre Petroski (13-5 MMA, 8-4 UFC.) Shahbazyan has kept himself busy so far in 2025, but as the year nears its end, will he go 3-for-3 in the promotion in under eight months?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Andre Muniz makes his 32nd career appearance on Saturday at UFC 320 and enters with a 2-3 mark in his last five appearances. He\u2019s reeling from a first-round knockout loss with six seconds remaining on the clock this past April.<\/p>\n

That night, he was defeated by Ikram Aliskerov (16-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) in Kansas City, KS. Muniz is a veteran of the sport who\u2019s contemplated retirement from MMA in the past. Will fight number 32 result in his milestone 25th career win?<\/p>\n

UFC 320: Chris Gutierrez vs. Farid Basharat<\/p>\n

Also on the UFC 320 prelims, you\u2019ll be seeing a bantamweight contest between Chris Gutierrez<\/a> (22-5-2 MMA, 10-3-1 UFC) and Farid Basharat (13-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC,) an alumnus of OKTAGON MMA.) Gutierrez touches down in Nevada with a mark of 3-2 in his last five fights.<\/p>\n

Back on April 26 in Kansas City, he eked out a split decision victory over John Castaneda (21-8 MMA, 4-4 UFC) after three rounds of action. Canceled fights have become something of a habit for Gutierrez and his camp.<\/p>\n

Of his last five scheduled fights, three were postponed without a punch being thrown, including the originally-scheduled fight versus Castaneda on March 8 of this year. With Gutierrez now back to a more normal schedule, can he secure his second win of the year?<\/p>\n

Rest of the Undercard<\/p>\n

The rest of UFC 320\u2019s prelims feature the following:<\/p>\n

A featherweight fight between Daniel Santos (12-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and Joo Sang Yoo (9-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC,)
\nA women\u2019s bantamweight contest versing No. 5 contender Macy Chiasson (10-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) and No. 10 contender Yana Santos (16-8, 1 NC MMA, 6-5 UFC,)
