Gaston Bolanos to Face Quang Le at UFC on ESPN 67: A Crucial Bantamweight Bout
This Saturday, May 3rd, 2025, the UFC’s bantamweight division will take centre stage as Gaston Bolanos and Quang Le face off at UFC on ESPN 67, which will be held at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, USA. According to information from The Stats Zone, the event’s preliminary card is set to start at 11:00 pm UK time, followed by the main card at 2:00 am on Sunday.
In a crucial bantamweight bout, Gaston Bolanos, with a record of 8-4, will look to secure back-to-back wins in the UFC for the first time in his career. His last fight saw him secure a unanimous decision against Cortavious Romious at UFC Fight Night 247 last November. Bolanos will aim to build on his 2-1 record in the UFC, having joined the promotion with a strong reputation.
On the other hand, Quang Le, with a record of 8-2, will be desperate for his first victory in the Octagon. After an impressive start to his professional MMA career with eight consecutive wins, Le earned his shot in the UFC but has since suffered back-to-back losses. His first setback came against Chris Gutierrez last August, where he lost by unanimous decision, followed by a knockout loss to Long Xiao in November.
Le returns to action here in desperate need of a win to bolster his confidence. The Stats Zone reports that both fighters have built their resumes outside of the UFC, but there is more to like about Bolanos’ time in the UFC than Quang Le’s. Bolanos has a couple of wins under his belt and has found ways to win in challenging fights.
As quoted from The Stats Zone, "This is something of a pick’em fight but our preference has to lean towards Bolanos who we have more faith in due to his ability to grind it out and find a way to win."
