Petr Yan Favorite to Face Song Yadong Next After Callout

After the fight, Yadong called out Yan, who presumably feels like this UFC bout would be a more entertaining clash than Yadong’s win over Gutierrez.
Deivison Figueiredo A Potential Opponent for Yadong
Deivison Figueiredo, transitioning impressively to bantamweight with a recent win over Rob Font, emerges as another likely contender for Yadong, carrying odds of +175.
A bout against the former flyweight champion would be a significant test for Yadong. Figueiredo is currently ranked eighth in the bantamweight division, but the win over Font suggests he could be a real contender at the top of the division.
Could Recovering Cory Sandhagen be Next UFC Bout for Yadong?
Cory Sandhagen, currently recovering from an injury and ranked fourth in the bantamweight division, stands as a potential matchup for Yadong, with odds of +450.
A fight with Sandhagen could provide Yadong with an opportunity to climb higher in the bantamweight rankings. But given Sandhagen’s talent, this could be a potential high risk, high reward scenario for Yadong.
