Yes, it is really certain that Song Yadong already has bested Ricky Simon in his ground game which is his takedown defense, it is really imminent for strikers to have countermeasures against takedowns, and one good takedown is in the combat sambo side, the Dagestan wrestling but with Ricky Simon he has Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that most of the fighters in the UFC have been training, and I think Song Yadong might have some knowledge about it, but let's see if he can apply that on the fight because I think that Ricky Simon is also ready for him and Simon says that 5 rounds will be very beneficial for him,
Right now as time progresses we are in the Waldo Cortes-Acosta VS Marcos Rogério de Lima fight in the UFC, and 4 matches to go and then the main event, well maybe there aren't so many watching this live, but I still there are some that may watch it, because I am just looking at Tapology, for some results,
And just like I have said there is still a chance for Song Yadong to land an upset in this fight and he did, as his coach Urijah Faber they are really expecting the wrestling game on Ricky Simon, and Song Yadong is really expecting those takedowns on the 1st round but it was full on the stand-up, for Ricky Simon, but yeah on those 9 takedowns that Ricky Simon have thrown 7 was defended by Yadong, but surely you can see that his training with Team Alpha Male really paid off,
As for my picks for this main event YuginKadoya, I will be taking Borralho to win and the Simon match to not go the distance.
Congrats on you on the Caio Borralho win, but sad to say Ricky Simon is not what we are expecting him to be Song Yadong was great in the feat and got power than Ricky Simon, and I was really surprised that now Yadong is really improving his wrestling so much now, that he is really in defending those takedowns,
Result of my full picks for the UFC Fight Night: Song vs. Simón I had many losses for this event in my pick and it is good that I only bet on the main events,
