Gaston Bolanos says anything good he’s done thus far in his MMA career has just been the warmup.
Now that he’s in the UFC, Bolanos thinks the ride is about to get really interesting. Bolanos had nine fights under the Bellator umbrella before he signed with the UFC in 2023, and he’s hoping the experience at what was at the time the sport’s second most visible entity pays dividends now that he’s at the promotion at the top of the food chain.
“I can’t tell you I didn’t feel any pressure,” Bolanos told MMA Junkie Radio about his career before the UFC. There was always pressure for every fight, but I was lucky enough that I started my career in such a big platform as Bellator, and before that Lion Fight. So coming into the UFC, I was like, ‘Wow – is this where I’ve always meant to be?’
