Get the full Michael Aswell vs. Bolaji Oki prediction, betting picks, prop bets and same-fight parlay ideas for UFC Vegas 107.
The UFC Vegas 107 prelims just got a shake-up. After MarQuel Mederos pulled out, promotional newcomer Michael Aswell steps in on short notice to face Bolaji Oki, a promising lightweight prospect looking to bounce back after a setback.
📍 Oki (9-2) suffered his first UFC loss in September 2024 via guillotine choke against Chris Duncan. Before that, he edged out Timmy Cuamba in a razor-close split decision.
📍 Aswell (7-2) makes his UFC debut after a split-decision loss on Dana White’s Contender Series. He’s since picked up a win at Fury FC but is moving up a weight class for this matchup.
Can the late-notice underdog make a splash, or is this a redemption spot for Oki?

📈 Betting Trends & Insights
- Oki was the favorite in both UFC appearances, finishing one and losing the other via submission.
- Aswell is 0-1 in DWCS but went the distance in both regional losses. He’s never been finished.
- Oki has shown knockout power and size advantage at lightweight.
- Aswell was already in camp for a Fury FC fight on June 22 — fitness should not be an issue.
🧠 X-Factor: Aswell is giving up size and Octagon experience. While he’s gritty and active, this is a steep climb in his UFC debut.

🔍 Matchup Breakdown
This is a size and level mismatch:
- Oki is a big lightweight with better striking, longer reach, and more UFC polish. He has explosive power and knows how to pressure.
- Aswell is a gritty featherweight, bumping up to 155 lbs. He’s durable, has good movement, and scrambles well — but he’s not a power puncher or heavy wrestler.
- Don’t expect a walkover, but Oki has all the tools to overwhelm a smaller opponent who is not accustomed to this level of competition.
