I like Yan, I like Song Yadong but I like Yan and I’m a fan of his style. But I just don’t see him losing four in a row. I’m going to go Yan by UD [unanimous decision].
The 31-year-old Yan last entered the octagon in March 2023 at UFC Fight Night 221, losing to Merab Dvalishvili by unanimous decision. He has 16 wins and five losses under his belt.
The 26-year-old Yadong's last fight was in December 2023 at UFC Fight Night 233, defeating Chris Gutierrez by unanimous decision. He has 21 wins, seven losses, and one draw.
