Song Yadong Form
Song Yadong is the #8 ranked bantamweight fighter with a 19-7-1, 1 NC professional record.
Song debuted in 2017 and went 4-0-1 in his first five fights, with a decision win against Marlon Vera standing out in that run.
He finally suffered his first UFC defeat in March 2021 when he dropped a decision to Kyler Phillips, but he bounced back quickly.
The 25-year-old Chinese fighter got back to winning ways with a split decision victory over Casey Kennedy.
Song then registered back-to-back KO/TKO wins, knocking out Julio Arce in the second round before stopping Marlon Moraes in the first.
He failed to make it four-in-a-row though, as his fight was Cory Sandhagen was stopped after four rounds by the doctor last September.
Ricky Simon Form
Ricky Simon is the #10 ranked bantamweight fighter with a 20-3 professional record.
Simon debuted in the UFC in April 2018 and quickly reeled off three consecutive wins to climb the rankings.
His momentum stalled in the second half of July 2019 though, as he dropped back-to-back fights.
The 30-year-old American was knocked out inside 48 seconds by Urijah Faber, and then suffered a decision defeat to Rob Font.
Simon has bounced back though, winning five consecutive fights to climb back into the top 10 in the rankings.
He beat Ray Borg by split decision and then submitted Gaetano Pirrello in the second round, before making it three-in-a-row with a decision victory over Brian Kelleher.
Simon then took his streak to five fights with a couple of second-round stoppage wins, knocking out Raphael Assuncao and submitting Jack Shore.
Verdict
This has the makings of a fantastic fight between two evenly-matched, well rounded fighters.
We give Simon the slightest of edges and back him to get the nod from the judges after five rounds.
