Bellator 206 results: Gaston Bolanos powers way past Ysidro Gutierrez
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Ysidro Gutierrez knew Gaston Bolanos would go headhunting, so he made sure to fire back every time he got cornered.
When Bolanos (4-1 MMA, 4-1 BMMA) keyed in on Gutierrez’s (3-3 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) rhythm, he only needed to wait for the right time to uncork the right punch. In the second round, a left hook set up a finish at the 1:37 mark of the frame.
The featherweight bout opened the main card of today’s Bellator 206 show at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif. The entire card streamed live on DAZN.
Bolanos explored with head kicks early, hoping to take out Gutierrez without much pushback. Gutierrez twice seized the striking specialist’s leg, hoping to convert for a takedown. Bolanos stayed upright and clinched instead.
Gutierrez avoided an inevitable spinning elbow from Bolanos and kept his punch count high to keep distance. In the second, Gutierrez’s forward momentum allowed Bolanos to nab a takedown, though he declined to engage much on the canvas.
The better play, it turned out, was to wait for Gutierrez to come to him. As Gutierrez closed into punching range, Bolanos fired a left hook that caught him on the side of the head and took his equilibrium. Bolanos leapt in at his opponent’s back and threw follow-up punches until referee Mike Beltran stepped in to stop the damage at the 1:37 mark of the frame.
Bolanos now has won three straight under the Bellator banner, while Gutierrez loses his promotional debut.
