Song Yadong defeats Chris Gutierrez

In Saturday night’s bantamweight main event, Song Yadong easily defeated a constantly distracted Chris Gutierrez by decision. As Gutierrez was voicing his displeasure with the referee and squabbling with an observer, Yadong utilized his skills in wrestling to transform a contest into a shutout according to the official scorecards.

The fight began with a series of kicks, with both men landing leg kicks and feeling out kicks to the head and body. With the force and speed of his leg kicks, Gutierrez altered the pace, but Yadong maintained full force with his shots. Beyond the illegal glove grab, both men were frustrated with Dean’s work.

Yadong called out former champion Petr Yan after the fight, claiming that only Gutierrez among the top 15 fighters was willing to challenge him. Yan had already posted a yawn emoji on X, the former Twitter, in response to Yadong’s performance.
