All Eyes on Song Yadong - Will UFC 299 Be His Crowning Moment?

This Saturday at UFC 299 in Miami, Chinese phenom Song Yadong aims to shock the Bantamweight world and firmly cement his status as the top contender.

At just age 26, Song steps in as underdog against elite ex-champ Petr Yan who’s hungry to lock down another title shot.

But if the young gun can extend his win streak with a signature KO, he’s certain he can leapfrog past all other contenders into a championship opportunity .

So will we witness the birth of a new global Asian MMA hero this weekend?
