Yahoo News UFC Fight Night time: When does Cory Sandhagen vs Song Yadong start in UK and US tonight?
Bantamweight contenders will square off in what should be an exciting main event on Saturday, as Cory Sandhagen and Song Yadong headline this weekend’s UFC Fight Night.
Sandhagen (14-4) last fought 11 months ago, losing to Petr Yan on points in a fight of the year contender to crown an interim champion at 135lbs. It marked a second straight loss for the 30-year-old American, who was controversially outpointed by former title holder TJ Dillashaw last June.
Meanwhile, Yadong (19-6-1, 1 No Contest) carries a three-fight win streak into the UFC Apex institute in Las Vegas this Saturday, having last competed in March, when he stopped former title challenger Marlon Moraes in the first round.
Song, 24, will look to leapfrog up the rankings with a victory here, entering the main event ranked 10th at bantamweight while Sandhagen is No 4 at 235lbs.
