News Petr Yan vs Song Yadong in the works to headline UFC China, Dec. 9

[ExitLUPin]

Yan is at a crossroad.... If he loses this its over.

 

[You Will Vote For Dreyga]

No Weili….interesting choice.

The plan was for the UFC to hold multiple China cards per year.

The fact they aren’t putting Weili on this card may suggest that they may go to China twice this year

 

[Safton]

I was thinking they might give Yan a notable step down in competition, but instead this might very well end up being the final nail in his coffin.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Oh snap, fantastic matchup for both guys

 

[MartinGibson86]

It's pronounced, "The Thong Song"

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

They’re trying to hold this event in Shanghai, China.

Love the matchup. I think Petr gets it done with his superior boxing.

This is a step down from what he's been doing.

 

[ChimRichalds]

Good fight, I'm actually gonna roll with Yadong here. He's been looking sharp as hell.

 

[SamuraiBro]

I got the Dong in this one.

 

[Bearknuckle]

I see Yan going the grappling route. He can throw hands with yadong, but his experience tells him song is 0 threat on the ground. So why risk it when its easier to just strike and grapple him.

hope yadong gets a win and gets a title shot.

If Yan loses this one as well...

 

[KOPPE]

Yan is 1-4 in his last five. how the fk he still main eventing

 

[asdf122345]

Song gonna win. Yan doesn't look like he has it anymore.

Its UFC, colby is getting a title shot after 2 years of no activity.

stipe is getting a title shot after 3+ years of not even getting a win.

its actually not even bad that yan is a main event seeing as he’s a former champ, has had at least 2 controversial decision losses that couldve gone either way. He’s still a top guy. Its not like he’s randomly getting a title shot.

 

[BluntForceTrama]

O'Malley took Yans soul

this phrase should be only used in Penn- Stephenson type fights

i feel like its a bit taxed

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

Banger alert! This fight will be a hell of fight.

 

[StonedLemur]

Yan doesn't want to go blow for blow with Yadong.
Song is faster, starts off faster, and I personally think he hits harder.

Ricky Simon didn't have a lot of success wrestle fucking Song, I highly doubt Yan has a lot of success.

Its stupid, but Colby has a win and Stipe its because Pico is cherry picking his fight.
