🔍 Matchup Breakdown
🥊 Striking
This fight favors Bolaños on the feet. With a clean 50% striking accuracy and nearly 4 strikes landed per minute, the Peruvian kickboxer has a sharp Muay Thai base and devastating elbows. Le absorbs over 5.5 strikes per minute and has just a 45% striking defense, which could spell trouble if he stands too long.
🤼 Grappling
Le has the advantage on the mat in terms of submissions attempted (0.7 per 15 min vs. Bolaños’ 0.3). However, his takedown success is only 23%, and Bolaños surprisingly defends takedowns at a solid 42%. If Le wants to win, he must either pressure early or grind Bolaños down — but doing so won’t be easy given Bolaños’ sneaky takedown game (85% success rate on attempts).
🎯 Keys to Victory
Gaston Bolaños
✅ Strengths: Clean, powerful striking, Muay Thai base, sharp combinations
❌ Weaknesses: Struggles if the fight goes to the ground, susceptible to control
Quang Le
✅ Strengths: Durable, mixes in grappling well, capable of submitting tired strikers
❌ Weaknesses: Poor striking defense, absorbed over 5.5 strikes per minute
Bolaños will want to keep this on the feet and exploit Le’s leaky striking defense. Le needs to create chaos with clinches, takedowns, and pressure.

🔮 Final Bolaños vs Quang Le Prediction
This is a striker vs. striker matchup on the surface — but one with deeper implications. Le has more tools in his belt with his ground game, but Bolaños has faced stiffer competition and possesses more power, volume, and defensive awareness. If Le can’t get it to the ground early, this may turn into a kickboxing clinic from “The Dreamkiller.”
✅ Pick: Gaston Bolaños (-155)
🧠 Method: TKO via Strikes – Round 2
💥 Confidence: Moderate
📈 Best Prop Bet: Bolaños by KO/TKO (+185)
