On March 13, Beijing time, "Kung Fu Monkey" Song Yadong will fight again at the UFC, and his opponent is Marlon Moras, who ranks 9th in the weight class (61 kg). As a boxer who has played in the UFC for many years, Moraes has been in poor form for the past two years, suffering three consecutive defeats.

However, Moras did not want to become a stepping stone, and recently, in order to prepare for the match with Song Yadong, Moras came to the Tiger Boxing Gym in Thailand for training. However, Moras did not go well on his trip, and when he first came to Thailand for a nucleic acid test, the result was positive. Moras said in an interview that he couldn't even communicate with the order because some local people didn't know English. In the ambulance being taken to the hospital, Moraes did not know where the ambulance was going.

While isolating in the hospital, Moraes began to have a fever and aches all over his body. It wasn't until the fourth day, when Moras was treated in the hospital, that he began to recover.
Despite the disruption of the preparation plan, Moraes still intends to stick to the match against Song Yadong on March 13. He said he knew that the battle with Song Yadong would be very difficult, but he still wanted to prove his strength to the martial fans.
Moraes is still quarantined in Thailand, and according to him, due to the lack of space, he can only do some push-ups every day. Moraes' fighting spirit is highly respectable. Looking forward to March 13, he and Song Yadong staged a wonderful battle.
