On August 8, Beijing time, China's Song Yadong will play UFC 265 against The American Casey Kenney.
During this time, China's power in the UFC's journey has not been smooth, including Zhang Weili, Song Kenan, Yan Xiaonan and other players have suffered 8 consecutive defeats, and Wu Yanan and Hu Yaozong's latest match has been cancelled due to opponents. Therefore, Song Yadong's match is particularly concerned by the majority of boxing fans.
Song Yadong lost to Phillips in the last game, which was also the first game he lost since entering the UFC, and his current UFC record is 5 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw. His opponent Kenny UFC has a record of 5 wins and 2 losses, and last year he also beat another Chinese player, Alateng Heli, but also lost the last game.
Today, Song Yadong and his opponent Kenny also passed the weighing, and Song Yadong appeared very excited at the weighing ceremony, and his physical condition was excellent, which brought a lot of confidence to Chinese boxing fans.
In fact, the successive defeats of Chinese MMA players on the international stage are not only in the UFC, in last week's ONE championship "Galloping Battlefield I", Lin Heqin, Chen Rui and Wang Luping, three Chinese players, also failed to win.
In this regard, Ma Jiawen, a signed player of the ONE Championship Competition, gave his own answer, he believes that it is because of the impact of the epidemic and other factors, resulting in the general training level of Chinese players can not keep up, the training system is difficult to maintain the state, and the coaching team of overseas competitions can only be temporarily pieced together, and various factors have led to the poor performance of the final players on the field.
It is undeniable that these external factors will indeed greatly affect the state of the players, especially in the case of the same level of both sides, compared to the state of presence and play. Therefore, we can only expect Song Yadong to play steadily in the game, play his real level, and end the losing streak of the Chinese legion.
