UFC bantamweight contender, Song Yadong has revealed he has been experiencing triple vision ever since suffering his fourth round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to Cory Sandhagen at UFC Vegas 60 earlier this month. And is set to undergo a surgical procedure to address an orbital fracture.
Headlining for the first time under the UFC banner earlier this month, Yadong, who currently holds the #9 rank in the official bantamweight rankings, suffered an eventual fourth round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to perennial contender, Sandhagen, who had sliced him open with a series of elbows.
Seeing his impressive run of three victories halted, Song Yadong, who had only previously suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Kyler Philips in his Octagon tenure, revealed he suffered a fractured orbital in his headliner with Sandhagen, and had been experiencing triple vision.
“Since round two, I was seeing triple vision because of this orbital fracture,” Song Yadong posted on his Twitter account, accompanied by an x-ray image of his injury. “I was facing Cory (Sandhagen) in front of me. A titanium piece will put in for me next week, will come back tougher with the metal (closed fist emoji) (cat emoji).”

Following the impressive victory for Sandhagen, which snapped a two-fight losing skid for the one-time interim title challenger, the former praised the toughness of Yadong throughout their main event clash.
“Song (Yadong) is a hell of a fighter,” Cory Sandhagen said. “I knew that he was going to be super tough. The guy hits really hard and he defended the takedowns really well. I think I was starting to figure him out as the fight was going on, so I was really looking forward to a fifth round.”
Prior to his loss to Colorado technician, Sandhagen, Yadong had chalked up victories over Julio Arce, Casey Kenney, Vince Morales, Marlon Vera, and former title chaser, Marlon Moraes to name a few.

Song Yadong has taken to social media following his TKO loss to Cory Sandhagen in the main event of UFC Vegas 60.
In what was a back-and-forth affair, Cory Sandhagen was able to emerge victorious over Song Yadong in the bantamweight matchup. Sandhagen himself will be looking to return to the octagon before the end of the year following his impressive victory to snap his two-fight losing streak. Yadong on the other hand will be looking to take the necessary time away to heal before making his return to the octagon.
Speaking on his social media the 24-year-old prospect gave credit to his opponent for his performance but promised his fanbase that he will be returning soon enough.
‘So basically couldn’t see anything after the cut. Props to @corysandhagen land that elbow. It wasn’t my night but a good fight. I will be back soon. @ufc #UFCVegas60’
Being at such a young age the Yadong still has plenty of time to develop himself as a fighter and eventually return to continue pushing forward with his title ambitions.
Whilst Sandhagen has made it clear he is interested in taking on any contenders above him, making special reference to Marlon Vera and Merab Dvalishvili, let us look at what matchups would make sense for the ‘Kung Fu Kid’ to take when he does return.
One potential opponent that Yadong could face upon his return is currently 7th ranked bantamweight Rob Font. Both men will be entering their next bouts coming off the back of defeats and if paired up would provide a very entertaining and fan-friendly matchup.
However, if an opponent who is currently ranked above him is not available then let us entertain the idea that Song Yadong could take on the 12th-ranked veteran Frankie Edgar who is looking for one final matchup before his retirement. A great name for Yadong to potentially add to his resume.
It is unclear just how long Yadong will be side-lined for following his loss, however, fight fans will be excited to see him step back inside the octagon whenever that may be.
