LAS VEGAS – Chris Gutierrez is ready to shine in his first octagon headliner against Song Yadong on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 233.
With just one defeat in his past 10 bouts, Gutierrez (20-5-2 MMA, 8-2-1 UFC) has become a relevant name in the bantamweight division. He’ll have the chance to add to that against Yadong (20-7-1 MMA, 9-2-1 UFC) in their headliner at the UFC Apex, which streams on ESPN+.
“It’s a good matchup,” Gutierrez told MMA Junkie and other reporters at Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 233 media day. “It’s a tough task on both ends. I’m well prepared. I have a good team behind me, a good support system. And I believe I have the tools to win.”
