Song Yadong sent Marlon Moraes to a fourth consecutive defeat in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 203 co-main event, marking the most significant victory of his young career.
The 22-year-old Chinese fighter is a prospect no more. Yadong (19-5-1 MMA, 8-1-1 UFC) needed just 126 seconds to run through Moraes (23-10-1 MMA, 5-6 UFC) for the knockout win over for the former WSOF champion.
The bantamweight bout was the UFC Fight Night 203 co-headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. It aired on ESPN+.
