At UFC Shanghai, Song Yadong achieved a notable victory by knocking out Umar Nurmagomedov in the second round of their bantamweight clash. This event took place on August 29, as the UFC returned to China for another Fight Night.

Initially, Nurmagomedov, a cousin of Khabib Nurmagomedov, was favored to win. He started strong, utilizing his wrestling skills effectively in the first round. However, after receiving encouragement from Khabib to enhance his striking, Nurmagomedov was caught off guard in the second round, leading to a decisive knockout by Song.

This victory marks Song's first winning streak since earlier in 2023, following a win against Deiveson Figueiredo. Meanwhile, Nurmagomedov's loss comes after two previous victories, leaving his professional record at 20-2 and requiring him to reassess his path in the bantamweight division.
