However, following the cancellation of his planned pairing with Font, Yadong has revealed he and a friend of his were allegedly robbed and held at gunpoint outside at gas station in San Francisco.

“My friend drove over and parked there and got out to buy water,” Song Yadong said.” When he came out, he was held at gunpoint. The man told him to hand over his money, his wallet, his necklace, and hit him with the handle of his gun.”

20-7-1(1) as a professional, 25-year-old Hulan District contender, Yadong has landed victories in four of his last Octagon walks – with his sole defeat in that period coming in the form of a fourth round doctor’s stoppage loss to the aforenoted, Sandhagen back in September of last year.

The defeat snapped a three-fight winning run which included a split decision win over Casey Kenney, as well as knockout victories over both Julio Arce, and former undisputed bantamweight championship challenger, Marlon Moraes.

“So, I want to fight top-five fighters, even [Rob] Font, he’s six, right?” Song Yadong told assembled media following UFC Vegas 72. “He’s okay. Yeah, ‘Chito’ [Marlon] Vera, and Sean O’Malley. But they [the UFC] probably won’t give me Sean O’Malley, the UFC [will] protect him.”

“Yeah, whatever, just top five, my goal is to fight top five fighters this year,” Song Yadong continued.

Sidelined since UFC 280 back in October of last year, O’Malley, a product of Dana White’s Contender Series, managed to hand former undisputed bantamweight champion, Petr Yan a close, decision loss.

O’Malley, who has confirmed he will be fighting for a title in the bantamweight division in his next Octagon walk, was booted from the #1 rank at bantamweight back in March after Merab Dvalishvili landed a one-sided unanimous decision win over common-foe, Yan.

Prior to last night’s win over Simon, Yadong had landed notable Octagon wins over the likes of Marlon Moraes, Casey Kenney, and the above-mentioned, Marlon Vera.

“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

‘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.

Who should Song Yadong face upon his return?

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 7^th 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.
