Moreover, the winner's name will certainly be tossed into the title contention turbulence that is the top of the bantamweight division. Two durable dudes that are budding contenders. This bout has all the ingredients to be a Fight of the Year candidate. He's coming off of a doctor stoppage loss against Corey Sandhagen, but he put up quite a fight until a cut stopped the action. Yadong, still on the better side of thirty-years-old, has finished 11 of his 19 wins. Now, Simon has a chance to get redemption at the man who taught the punch that served him his only knockout loss. That was when Urijah Faber caught him with a punch that Song Yadong taught him. One of those losses was to Rob Font, the other is the lone KO/TKO loss on Simon's record. This win streak snapped a two fight losing streak. Ricky Simon is on an absolute tear having won five in a row, it's looking a lot like Ricky has come into his own in this stretch of his career. Though Simon vs Yadong isn't the main event we expected, it's a main event we can't miss. Now, they'll be headlining UFC Vegas 72 as opposed to the original headlining bout, Renato Moicano vs Arman Tsarukyan. The UFC Vegas 72 press conference included Song Yadong and Ricky Simon, two huge threats for the 135lb championship.īetter late than never! Ricky Simon and Song Yadong were slated to fight one another last weekend and UFC Vegas 71. UFC bantamweights, you're all on notice this weekend.
