YESSSS I WAS WITH SONG YADONG!!! I thought he was just going to try to survive Simon's wrestling but he certainly showed great distance control and great boxing skills, making it a pretty effective anti wrestling defence. stop 9 takedowns of 11. Until finally getting to a spectacular finish . Plus song Yadong fight IQ was good here adjusting mid fight to counter Simon's style I like both Song Yadong and Ricky Simon, both are dark horses in the division. Head up for Simon, if he learns from this match he'll be on title orbital. But in this fight Song Yadong proved to be at the championship level. Maybe a rematch with Chito Vera, Rob Font or maybe against Petr Yan would be cool and and a good opportunity for three fighters for getting up the rankings to a possible title contender.
Song really imposed his will on the fight and made it how he wanted it to go. It was impressive. I was surprised by how striking-centric this fight was
What Aljo said about being a competitor over a fighter is huge for him to understand mentally, alot of these guys don't know which they are. in my opinion strategy first and avoid damage but the guys who can go dark and switch from competitor to fighter( Izzy rd5 vs Gastelum) will have the most success competitors break before fighter imo. I want aljo to win bad and i hope this is the fight were he finds that dog in him cause henry's gonna push hard and has that dog. GOOD LUCK CHAMP!
@@gggmmm7204 I 100% agree with you. I think Song would of emptied the tank and won more off of volume. But that cut was so bad it needed to be stopped.
This was an awesome fight! Song looked really sharp. Ricky showed toughness and heart. Simon landed some good shots but was outclassed on feet imo. Standing it was Song's world I felt
I think it's funny that at 3:31 he said that oh we are going to stand and trade punches. Sorry but that's ehat you kinda did with sean and look how it turned out bro. My b. Mad respect tho. Keep up the good work at 145.
@@ljuan5000 .... Yes, he speaks Mandarin as he is NOT from HK or Canton region. His American English is spoken like Jet Li , it has a distinctive sound to it. 👍✊
@@ljuan5000 I had to look up where he is from even though I knew from the Mandarin he is from ' The Mainland '... He is from Harbin, Northeast China. 👍✊🙏
Can’t wait for your fight against cejudo I’m the only one out of my friends that picked you to beat yan, dillishaw, and now again I’m picking you over cejudo… show em that cortland funk aljo 💪
@@Brudderfolkz merab dominated him and that “technical sub win” doesn’t make sense cause he never tapped and lasted till the end of the fight, in other states fight would’ve been scored 29-27 for Merab but Nevada state has retarded rules, just because merab was wobbled at the end of the fight after lasting 1 min in a guillotine they scored it a technical sub for Ricky
He literally fought yan twice who's scarier then song. Aljo has shown many times to have that dog in him. Just bc he said he doesn't sit in pockets and throw haymakers ? You haven't fought before
@Karar Al nah he got his belt for an Oscar worthy performance. I picked aljo to win that rematch, 37 dillashaw ended up being easier money too. But honestly aljos striking is trash, he beat yan because yan sits back and let's it happen. Cejudo takes the gold see you back on Sunday for your bad take
That's true I do wonder how much the headbutt affected him. At least it didn't end the fight.. I'm not sure there's a good solution tho for headbutts. Only thing I can think of is if they have some guy or a team of guys watching the fight and if they see a headbutt they immediately radio to the ref and have him stop the action no matter what is happening to give the fighter a chance to recover and see how affected they are. But all that feels unlikely to happen imo. They'll prob just keep hoping for the best and stopping when it's super obvious Ig
You not wanting to fight guys like Yadong is why you should move up and leave the division to the guys who want to. No offense. Let Merab get his shine.
ITS CUTE YOU FOUND A BODYGUARD TO PROTECT YOU FROM UPCOMING CONTENDERS.. BUT ITS ALL A WASTE.. TRIPLE C WILL FINISH YOU.. THEN UMAR WILL END ALL OF YOU
Song Yadong's wrestling defense was on point the whole fight....dude's so explosive in his sprawl and getting back up
YESSSS I WAS WITH SONG YADONG!!!

He made simons wrestling none existent shit was crazy his grappling defense surprised the hell outa me
Looking forward to see Yadong RISE in the rankings
What a performance by Song!
That was damn near flawless.
It was dope how he was slipping and ripping

I personally thought Song was going to win the 5th round against Corey. I think Song should be at the top of the division.
I don’t know. After he got cut, he couldn’t really see too well on one side.
@@gggmmm7204 I 100% agree with you. I think Song would of emptied the tank and won more off of volume. But that cut was so bad it needed to be stopped.
@@_Jashawuh song would of won had he not get cut, he was up 2 round after the 2nd round.
Aljo about to kick some gold medal ass!! Get em Aljo!
💯

y’all go from sweating and putting work in the gym to chillin looking fresh asf lol
Haha gotta clean up 💪🏾
Ur hardest fight to come is this week best of luck to the both of you may the best man win 🏆
appreciate you 🙏
TH-cam copyrighting a UFC champion for showing UFC fights, unbelievable
Song vs Suga show would be a craaazy fight. Both technical boxers but song throws with more heat.
Yea that would be a banger!
That would be awesome. Song reminds me a bit of Yan the way he throws. Hard, fast and looking to fuck you up with every hit
@@ruideng5722 way more power than yan imo
Nah. We need yan vs song and cory vs shaun
@@Skibidi4234 yan vs song would be something like gaethje vs fiziev
best division in the UFC

Aljo add a timer next time, helps the viewers now where you are and what moves you are reacting too
Lets go Aljo. All these haters doubting you from TJ, Yan and prior. You gonna make him bend the knee.
Merab's hairline is so confusing
Song would be a tough fight for Aljo
Simon couldn't handle the sheer size of Yadong.
100% felt that power and mentally froze
Song is a fkn athlete 👏 he can crack with that left hook
Dang, Yadong hit him with that 3 dumplings and a soy sauce
I'm Chinese and that's offensive, it's DUCK SAUCE get it right
Lol At least you tried. 🤦♂️
Anything for likes. Go sleep bro
this guy is typing that everywhere man really smiles after typing that over and over lol
yo you made the same joke on like 5 videos, wtf
Song meant biz. Talk a lil trash in mandarin too 😂. Or Cantonese 🤔
Mandarin Chinese 👍✊
@@walterkaiyuenpang3556 Are u saying he speaks mandarin. Some Chinese speak Cantonese. Not as many but I was curious?
@@ljuan5000 .... Yes, he speaks Mandarin as he is NOT from HK or Canton region.
His American English is spoken like Jet Li , it has a distinctive sound to it.

He is from Harbin, Northeast China.
👍✊🙏
also any of these 3: Font, Sandhagen and O Malley vs the other would be 🔥 🔥
Can’t wait for your fight against cejudo I’m the only one out of my friends that picked you to beat yan, dillishaw, and now again I’m picking you over cejudo… show em that cortland funk aljo 💪
merab got slept 3 times in one fight by ricky
And he still won
5:20 Merab, that’s why Serra is best cornerman for you! ✊🏼
Rolling with the Triple C!
Raging Al!!!!!
BAM
SYD vs Rob Font next
can we be honest? After watching Bruce buffer no announcer does it even close to him
These guys did NOT want yadong to win lmao theyre speechless.
He’s a beast. But we take him down and beat him down
What a pleasure seeing Ricky get fraud checked after flexing his fake win over Merab for years
💯%
How was it a fake win?

I like how you think he controls how the UFC promotes him.
That was the worst decision I’ve ever seen. I cannot believe MERAB “lost” the fight for literally no reason besides the organization is retarded
The fight to make now is Aljo vs Jon Jones at welterweight.
cant be the only one that thinks songs may be merabs nightmare matchup 👀
Merab too smart. Wouldn’t fight like that. And would take more shots at Song. I’m biased but I truly believe that.
When the nerd steps up to the bully
Who is the bully?
Dont let him bully u son
Merab is handsome 😊
Ayeee yooo gay bro wtf dude
3:22 is why aljos losing that belt on Saturday. No warriors spirit in there, henry going to run through this man.
He literally fought yan twice who's scarier then song. Aljo has shown many times to have that dog in him. Just bc he said he doesn't sit in pockets and throw haymakers ? You haven't fought before
@Karar Al nah he got his belt for an Oscar worthy performance. I picked aljo to win that rematch, 37 dillashaw ended up being easier money too. But honestly aljos striking is trash, he beat yan because yan sits back and let's it happen. Cejudo takes the gold see you back on Sunday for your bad take
@@HauntzTV bet see you Sunday
@@HauntzTV not he got his belt through yan cheating not acting lol. You've never stepped into a cage it reeks of it
Was that head butt on purpose it looked low key deliberate
Looked more poorly-thought-out then deliberate... A bit dumb regardless
Looked deliberate. He does dip his head sometimes though, like during the tackle in round 4. He has a very muscling through style like that.
That's true I do wonder how much the headbutt affected him. At least it didn't end the fight.. I'm not sure there's a good solution tho for headbutts. Only thing I can think of is if they have some guy or a team of guys watching the fight and if they see a headbutt they immediately radio to the ref and have him stop the action no matter what is happening to give the fighter a chance to recover and see how affected they are.

Does Merab fall asleep again?
Nah not this time haha
I had to go against aljo pick won myself $5
Some times you gotta trust your gut
@@FunkMasterUFC my gut says aljo smokes Henry 💨
შენ გენაცვალე მერაბ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aljo u look so skinny
He’s gotta weigh in this week ofc he’s losing some weight 😂
@@MVPMMA Hold up the Cejudo vs Aljo fight is next week?
@@GoulagInamte777 yeah it’s may 6th
@@MVPMMA Damn, makes me happy
@@GoulagInamte777 yeah man one of those fights where I don’t even care who wins just hope it’s competitive and not 1 sided
song is a rat, he was born in 1994 in fact. everybody in china know u fight sanda,then you change your age 3 yrs younger.
格斗运动员会把年龄改大,以便更早打比赛,而不会故意把年龄改小。 格斗是靠实力决定前途,而不是靠天赋和年轻。
3 salty biscuits and one jamaican trying to fit in because of peer pressure. well, at least he gave yadong some credit.
You not wanting to fight guys like Yadong is why you should move up and leave the division to the guys who want to.
No offense. Let Merab get his shine.
He's joking
@@Deno_7_ no, that was an easy comment to write. you dont try hard enough. use viagra.
Funny...Sterling admits he wants nothing to do with Song Yadong. That's about right...
