The Octagon remains in Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 72 event, an eleven-bout fight card headlined by Yadong Song vs. Ricky Simon.
Song (19-7-1 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since suffering a TKO loss to Cory Sandhagen in September of last year. Prior to that setback, ‘The Kung Fu Kid’ was riding a three-fight win streak which included a knockout win over Marlon Moraes.
Meanwhile, Ricky Simon (20-3 MMA) will enter tonight’s main event sporting a five-fight win streak, his latest being a submission win over Jack Shore in July of last year. The 30-year-old American hasn’t tasted defeated since 2019 when he suffered a decision loss to Rob Font.
UFC Vegas 72 is co-headlined by a middleweight bout featuring Caio Borralho taking on Michal Oleksiejczuk.
Borralho (13-1 MMA) will enter the bout sporting a twelve-fight unbeaten streak, including three straights wins under the UFC banner. ‘The Natural’ is coming off a decision win over Makhmud Muradov in his most recent effort this past October.
Meanwhile, Oleksiejczuk (18-5 MMA) will be looking to build off the momentum from his first-round knockout victory over Cody Brundage this past December. ‘Hussar’ has gone 4-1 over his past five fights.
