Song Yadong fights out of Sacramento's Team Alpha Male and is still just 28 despite 33 professional fights, with a record that also includes one no contest. A fast-handed counterpuncher with real knockout power, he answered a decision loss to Sean O'Malley by choking out former champion Deiveson Figueiredo in a May 2026 main event. He returns to fight in front of a home Chinese crowd against the biggest name of his career.
