LAS VEGAS – Song Yadong predicts he’ll be in the bantamweight title conversation if he can impress against Cory Sandhagen in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 210 headliner.
Yadong (19-6-1 MMA, 8-1-1 UFC) enters his first UFC main event against Sandhagen (14-4 MMA, 7-3 UFC) with just one loss in his 10 octagon appearances. The bantamweight division is as competitive as it gets, but a win in a marquee matchup at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas could do wonders for the Chinese fighter’s career.
“I think if I finish Cory, I think I got the title fight,” Yadong told MMA Junkie and other reporters at Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 10 media day. “If not, one more. Just one more.”
