Michael Aswell Jr. (11-5-0) versus JooSang Yoo (9-1-0) is a Featherweight clash on the UFC 331 preliminary card. Michael Aswell Jr. will be seeking to leave the Crypto.com Arena with a win this weekend and improve his UFC record. “The Texas Kid” has won only one of his UFC assignments, including decision losses in his last two fights against Gaston Bolanos and Luke Riley. The 26-year-old American has a point to prove this weekend as the +180 betting underdog.
Standing on the other end of the Octagon this weekend is JooSang Yoo, a South Korean fighter, looking to make his mark in the division. The “Zombie Jr.” joined the franchise in June 2025, defeating Jeka Saragih via a Round 1 KO punch at UFC 316. However, he suffered his first professional MMA defeat by Daniel Santos in October last year through a Round 2 KO punch. He now looks to rebound this weekend as the -260 betting favorite.

Our Michael Aswell JR vs Joosang Yoo Prediction
Michael Aswell deserves more credit from the UFC fanbase in this fight. He has more experience in the UFC stage and has never been finished in his 16 professional fights. Aswell Jr. is a tough guy who likes to apply forward pressure, which is visible in his colorful UFC career stats. He has tallied 7.60 significant strikes per minute with a striking accuracy of 42%. However, we don’t think he’s good enough to stop the confident Yoo this weekend. The South Korean can mix his dangerous takedowns with fluid striking to get an advantage in his fights. Still, we don’t see him getting a stoppage win, considering Aswell is a pressure-heavy fighter who absorbs 7.03 significant strikes per minute. Yoo should get a decision win.
Our prediction for Michael Aswell Jr. vs JooSang Yoo: This fight will go the distance.
