Paul Shaughnessy reiterated that Gaston Bolanos is his side and explained how he is attacking the market. Paul snagged Bolanos-by-KO at +300 on open and still likes the current +250 because he expects a largely standing bout. He pointed out that Quang Le’s only credited UFC takedowns came from catching Chris Gutierrez’s kicks—not from real wrestling entries—and noted that Bolanos popped back up versus Cordavius Romious and even hit his own takedown, proof the AKA reps are paying off. On the feet Bolanos owns the clear edge: faster combinations, heavier kicks, and a Muay Thai pedigree Paul has followed since Lion Fight 16 in 2014. Bolanos is two years younger, carries better cardio, and the Des Moines crowd should favor his exciting style. Paul prefers the –140 money-line for parlays, but the upside lives in the KO prop because if this turns into a 15-minute kickboxing match "give me Gaston all day."
