Song Yadong Next Fight
Song’s last time out was a first-round knockout of Mexico’s Alejandro Perez (21-8-1) at UFC 239 in July that had come despite the fact he’d strained a knee in fight camp. In November 2017, it was announced that Song Yadong would step in on short notice, to fight the first ever Indian-born fighter in the UFC and fellow debutante, Bharat Kandare at UFC Fight Night: Bisping vs. Gastelum in Shanghai, China. Song's UFC debut took place on the 25th November, 2017. The more interesting bout is 8-1 Kyler Phillips taking on China's Song Yadong, who hasn't lost since arriving in the UFC in 2017. Song has bounced between bantam and featherweight for years but has done his best work at this current weight class. Phillips (8-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) discussed his bantamweight matchup with Song Yadong (15-3-1 MMA, 5-0-1 UFC), his mentality coming into the biggest fight of his career thus far, his thoughts on the 135.
