Song Yadong News
The martial arts prodigy from China returns to the Octagon after his defeat by Sandhagen. 25-year-old Song Yadong is making his 29th match this weekend and is looking for a breakthrough to the top of the division.
It is one of the most complete fighters today, in every aspect of the fight. He played his first pro match at the age of 15. It is characterized by superior technique, speed, and strength. He is dangerous in his stance, he moves a lot, changes angles, shortens the distance, enters with his body and hides the blow, and knocks out the opponent. That’s how he knocked out Moraeas, with a right uppercut that he hid. In the clinch, he is very dangerous and tough, he throws strong knees, and from the clinch, he transfers the fight to the ground. When he grabs the neck, he doesn’t let go and goes for the finish.
Against Sandhagen, he was in a dominant position at the beginning of the match, but as the match progressed, he could not match the pace set by Sandhagen. Although Sandhagen knocked down twice during the match, Yadong defended as many as 11 attempts to knock down. That aspect of the fight in the match against Simon will be one of the most important because Simon is a fighter who will not give up on knockdowns throughout the fight.
Ricky Simon News
Simon is one of the best wrestlers in the bantamweight category and is characterized by great physical strength and explosiveness. He is on a five-game winning streak and will try to continue that excellent streak against the dangerous Yadong. This match was originally planned to be organized in three rounds, where, according to many analysts, Simon would have the advantage, but in five rounds everything is open.
He showed his wrestling dominance in the match against Merab, whom he defeated by “choking” in the third round, and against Jack Shore, who is one of the most talented wrestlers in the UFC, but he had no chance against Simon. However, Simon has his shortcomings, first of all in his stance. He receives a lot of open blows, which cost him a defeat from Faber and Font, who defeated him. Unlike Font and Faber, Yadong is one of the strongest hitters in the category, which is a serious problem for Simon.

Song Yadong vs Ricky Simon Prediction
This is a match between two fighters who force different fighting styles. Yadong is a puncher while Simon is an aggressive wrestler. However, we think that Yadong will take advantage of Simon’s much worse stand up and win this match.
