UFC signs former Bellator standout Gaston Bolanos to multifight deal

Gaston Bolanos is headed from one major promotion to another.

A Bellator standout who captured the attention of fans for his signature spinning knockouts, Bolanos (6-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has signed a multifight deal with the UFC. His manager Brian Butler, of SuckerPunch Entertainment, recently announced the signing on social media.

No debut opponent, date, or location has been revealed at this time.

Bolanos, 30, has only competed under the Bellator banner as a professional. Though he’s 1-2 in his most recent three outings, Bolanos has struggled to find opponents who will make it to the cage on fight night. Four of his most recent five scheduled bouts were canceled due to opponent withdrawals.

In six professional victories, Peru’s Bolanos has finished them all by knockout or TKO. He most recently competed in April when he knocked out Daniel Carey in Round 1.
