Breaking: Gaston Bolaños set to fight Marcus McGhee at UFC event in August

After impressing in their respective UFC debuts, it appears as though Gaston Bolaños and Marcus McGhee are set to clash in the octagon this August.

According to ESPN Deportes' Carlos Contreras Legaspi, a bout between Bolanos and McGhee has been added to the UFC on ESPN 49 event, which is scheduled to take place at the Apex on August 12. It should be an exciting fight as both competitors are riding high since making their promotional debuts.

'The Dreamkiller' is currently riding a two-fight winning streak and most recently earned a unanimous decision win over Aaron Phillips this past April. Prior to joining the promotion, all his fights took place in Bellator, where he amassed a 6-3 record, with all his wins coming via KO/TKO.

Meanwhile, 'The Maniac' is riding a three-fight winning streak that also includes a win this past April as he earned an impressive second-round submission win over Journey Newson. The 33-year-old has a 7-1 MMA record, with his lone career loss being a first-round submission loss to Rafael do Nascimento.

It will be interesting to see which competitor can continue the momentum from their promotional debut as their bout is a relatively quick turnaround.
