On April 23, "Kung Fu Kid" Song Yadong was supposed to fight this time on this fight night, and faced Simon, who is currently ranked tenth in the UFC bantamweight division (61kg). Yesterday, the UFC officially announced the postponement of the match.
However, this postponement is not a bad thing for Song Yadong, it is reported that the headline main event fighter Renato who was originally scheduled for April 30 Beijing time withdrew from the fight, and the headline main event was vacant, so the big fight between Song Yadong and Simon was postponed to April 30 and served as the headline main event of the night. It is worth mentioning that this is also the second time that Song Yadong has led the headline main event in his UFC career.

If this match can win the opponent smoothly, then Song Yadong's influence will be further enhanced. And this match has also changed from three rounds to a five-round battle, which will also add more five-round experience to Song Yadong.
Simon wrestler, currently on a five-game winning streak, is in good shape. It is also a test for Song Yadong's anti-fall, and it is undoubtedly Song Yadong who has more advantages in standing technology. In last year's tough guy fight between Song Yadong and Sandhagen, although he was knocked out by his opponent TKO and ended in the UFC for the first time, Song Yadong's performance also satisfied many Wu fans. Sandhagen also said many times after the match that Song Yadong was the most difficult opponent he encountered.
