Song Yadong's vicious KO win against Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC Shanghai
Song Yadong entered the headlining match of UFC Shanghai on August 29, having vowed to beat the formidable Umar Nurmagomedov. The consensus was that Nurmagomedov's grappling, what with him training alongside the likes of his younger brother Usman Nurmagomedov and legendary cousin Khabib Nurmagomedov, would nullify Yadong's slick striking skills.
Nevertheless, "The Kung Fu Kid" kept his composure and ended up catching his Dagestani foe with a thunderous right hand that appeared to be a grazing strike from the head to the neck. It ended up knocking Nurmagomedov out cold, and a few ground strikes to the already-incapacitated grappling savant earned Yadong the KO win.
The skilled combatant, who captivated the fans in attendance in his home country of China, proceeded to affirm that he'd like a UFC bantamweight title shot next.
Reigning UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan is booked to defend his belt in a rubber match against Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi on October 24. It's believed that Yadong could face the Yan-Dvalishvili trilogy matchup's winner for the title.
