Winner: JooSang Yoo
Confidence Score: 70JooSang Yoo has a significant edge in recent form and fight metrics. He holds a 9-1 record with a high finish rate (4 KOs, 1 submission, 4 first-round finishes) and an exceptionally short average fight time (2:55), indicating strong finishing ability early. His significant strike accuracy (59%) and defense (56%) are both superior to Gaston Bolanos, who is more hittable (51% defense) and less accurate (49%). Yoo's style is freestyle, giving him more versatility against Bolanos, who is a pure striker and has struggled against well-rounded opponents and grapplers. Bolanos does have knockout power (6 KOs), but his takedown defense (43%) is a liability, especially against fighters with strong pressure and finishing instincts. Historically, fighters with Yoo's profile—high finishing rate, strong striking accuracy, and recent momentum—have a higher win rate against strikers with defensive weaknesses like Bolanos. Yoo is also younger and has less fight wear. Unless Bolanos lands a big shot early, the data strongly favors Yoo to finish or outpoint him.
