Song Yadong headlines in his home country for the first time in several years. Known for his explosive power and technical striking, Song needs a statement win in Macau to prove he remains a top-tier threat in one of the UFC’s deepest divisions.

Deiveson Figueiredo returns to the site of his 2024 main event loss to Petr Yan. Despite being the veteran in this matchup, “Deus da Guerra” remains one of the most dangerous finishers in MMA history.
