Song Yadong Submits Figueiredo in Macau, Calls for Petr Yan Rematch
At UFC Macau, China’s Song Yadong bounced back in spectacular fashion. He secured a second-round guillotine choke over former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo at Galaxy Arena. Yadong admitted his game plan focused on a knockout, but he proved his grappling is every bit as dangerous. “People think I don’t know jiu-jitsu? Who said I don’t know it? I like boxing, but I can grapple too,” he said after the win. The victory snapped a two-fight skid and improved his record to 4-2 over his last six bouts. Now ranked among the bantamweight elite, Yadong has one goal in mind: a rematch with Petr Yan, the champion who handed him a decision loss earlier this year. With Yan recovering from surgery and the division in flux, Song’s performance sent a clear message. He insists he’s top five and ready to fight anyone to prove it.
