In the just-concluded UFC 299 match, Chinese player Song Yadong faced former champion Peter Yan, but unfortunately, Song Yadong lost in points.
As a former champion, Peter Yan has made a great name for himself in UFC with his super striking ability. But in the past three games, Peter Yan ended in defeat and fell to the lowest point of his career.
However, two of these three games were narrowly defeated by unanimous decision, so his state and level cannot be underestimated.
Moreover, this is also an important match that determines Peter Yan's status in the bantamweight division, so he will definitely have to fight against the odds.
Song Yadong, who was born in Sanda, has become one of the most promising young players in UFC with his very high winning rate and KO rate over the years. This game will also be an important match for Song Yadong to challenge for the championship.
In the first round, both players tried to pressure their opponents in the mid-range and short range. Song Yadong paid great attention to the defense of his front hand this time, and firmly protected his chin with his shoulders.
Song Yadong's front hand punch hit many times, posing a threat to Peter Yan. Moreover, Song Yadong's repeated wrestling and feinting could also distract Peter Yan's energy, which shows that the preparation and targeted training for this game are very sufficient.
After a leg fall, Song Yadong successfully got Peter Yan's back. After several changes, Song Yadong still firmly held the dominant position and gained the advantage in the first ground duel. Song Yadong had a clear advantage in the first round.
In the second round, Song Yadong fought with his opponent without flinching. Song Yadong struck a very high number without any hesitation. Peter Yan's heavy punches were also very threatening, especially the uppercuts that also hit.
At the end of the round, Peter Yan Baofan successfully achieved a high-position striking position, and Song Yadong's eyebrows were also opened. At this point Peter Yan has the advantage.
In the third round, Peter Yan used more turning kicks, but it had no effect. Both of them tried to throw, but neither of them succeeded. Due to their high frequency of attacks, their physical fitness has declined, but overall Song Yadong has more attacks and is more active.
In the last minute of the third round, Peter Yan fell down and Song Yadong got the upper hand to suppress.
When the two were evenly matched, and Song Yadong was even more active in fighting while standing, the time he was knocked down may have become the key point in determining the outcome.
In the end, the two fought for three rounds, and Peter Yan won by points.
I have to say that Song Yadong started the game very well, and in the three rounds, Song Yadong almost did not fall behind in standing strikes, and he was more proactive. But Peter Yan's review of the situation on the court and his grasp of key nodes were worthy of his reputation as a championship-level player.
Song Yadong will still have many opportunities in the future. I believe this will also become an important experience for him. I look forward to his future performance.
