If Bonfim didn't like Taco Padillas pressure, he is going to HATE what Axel Sola does here. Yes, we just saw Axel lose to Mason Jones, but what we also saw in that fight was what an absolute dog he can be. We watched him go toe to toe with one of the more violent guys in the division. We also saw some Dagastani wrestling from him which is a phenomenal backup plan. I think Sola dominates here and the UFC roster will be down one Bonfim brother come Saturday night.

Ismael Bonfim

Ismael Bonfim is a wild striker with very real power and no regard for straight punches. He comes forward and throws every single punch from the hip. He will mix in flying knees and the occasional takedown. When he takes his time he can be accurate, powerful and have solid defense. He has actual boxing experience and high level BJJ. He is coming off the finish loss to Chris Padilla where he couldn't handle the pressure.

Axel Sola

Axel Sola is a young French prospect. He is a solid boxer with a clean jab. he has an interesting stance with low hands, but he throws incredibly hard and does a great job pumping a jab then mixing in heavy leg kicks. His take down defense is just ok, but if it fails him, he has solid enough submission defense to stay safe and work up. He has evolved his game and has offensive takedowns as well which we just saw in his war with Mason Jones.
