Yadong Song
The very young Yadong Song is on a good start for his UFC career. He made his debut back in November 2017 and won five of his first six fights. After that, he lost to Kyler Philips in UFC 259 through a tough unanimous decision loss. Song was able to bounce back during his most recent match against Casey Kenney just this August in a tight split decision victory. This Chinese fighter has been known to be a hard fighter to knock down and that resulted in eight decision victories. Expect him to go to his striking base to seal an early victory but he will eventually try to win it in the eyes of the judges.
Julio Arce
Julio Arce made a good impression once he stepped inside the octagon after earning a UFC contract in Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series back in August 2017. He then made his debut and won against Dan Ige via unanimous decision and followed it up with an RNC submission against Daniel Teymur. Since then, Arce has split his last four matches to two wins and two losses. The last bout that Arce was in was against Andre Ewell in UFC on ESPN 27 and that match ended in a second-round knockout victory. Arce now holds a 17-4 professional record with 10 of those wins split between five knockouts and five submissions.
