Gaston Bolanos vs Michael Aswell Prediction – UFC Vegas 119 Predictions

Gaston Bolanos (8-5) stands at 2-2 in the promotion since moving from Bellator back in 2023 and makes his first appearance in over a year. “The Dreamkiller” is a former kickboxer best known for an assortment of highlight reel spinning KOs, but has had mixed success under the UFC banner, alternating decision victories over Aaron Phillips and Cortavious Romious with stoppage losses to Marcus McGhee and Quang Le. The Peruvian has a well-rounded game, but doesn’t excel in any one area of the sport. Furthermore, his finishing ability in kickboxing hasn’t translated to great success in MMA; Bolanos’ last finish came more than four years ago.

Michael Aswell Jr. (11-4) has impressed during his UFC tenure, despite his record being only 1-2 after three fights. Still rapidly improving with a good amount of experience for a 25-year-old fighter, “The Texas Kid” acquitted himself admirably in his short notice debut, giving the heavy-handed Bolaji Oki all he could handle up a weight class despite losing the decision. He followed that up with a demolition job over Lucas Almeida in his sophomore bow, before dropping a hard fought decision to Luke Riley on the London card in March. The 4 oz. Fight Club representative is a solid boxer who likes to try and drag his opponents into a brawl; Aswell is more than willing to take a shot to land two of his own.

Aswell looks like a good value for his status as a considerable favorite here. He looked solid against an elite prospect in Luke Riley last time out, giving the Scouser a legitimate run for his money in a bout where many had him pegged to lose by KO. In addition to his ability to land well-timed takedowns, he lands at an extremely high clip and has an iron chin, going to war with Bolaji Oki up a weight class in his debut.

Bolanos doesn’t appear to have anything in the other side of the cage that’s going to give the Texan a whole lot of problems. His only wins in the promotion have come against two fighters who are a combined 0-6 under the UFC banner and he’s been finished brutally every time he’s lost. Losing to Marcus McGhee is one thing, but getting submitted by Quang Le was a really bad look.

Moving up to featherweight could well suit Bolanos in terms of cardio and durability, but he was never the hardest hitter at 135 pounds. It’s hard to see him suddenly cracking Aswell with a fight ending shot up a weight class, especially considering the fact that the American has never been knocked out and “The Dreamkiller” hasn’t scored a finish since 2022.

I think the Texan’s coming out with a point to prove and I think he’s going to get his second UFC stoppage here, melting Bolanos up against the cage with a fury of second round blows.
