UFC Fight Night 210 free fight: Song Yadong KOs Marlon Moraes with brutal combination

Song Yadong enters his first UFC main event on a high note.

The 24-year-old rising UFC bantamweight contender headlines UFC Fight Night 210 this coming Saturday against Cory Sandhagen. This main event placement comes after Yadong (19-6-1 MMA, 8-1-1 UFC) knocked out veteran Marlon Moraes in the first round of their bout at UFC Fight Night 203 in March.

It was a spectacular finish that earned Yadong a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. You can watch the finish in the video above.

Sandhagen (19-6-1 MMA, 8-1-1 UFC), 30, will look to rebound from back-to-back decision losses against T.J. Dillashaw and Petr Yan. The losing skid followed back-to-back knockout victories of Moraes and Frankie Edgar. It is the first multifight skid of Sandhagen’s professional career.

Yadong has been on a roll since a 2021 loss to Kyler Phillips. One of the youngest fighters on the roster, Yadong rides a three-fight winning streak, which includes a split decision over Casey Kenney, a TKO of Julio Arce, and the knockout of Moraes.
