The Song-Simon fight would have been one of the better matches on last week cards. However, the UFC decided to push back the fight one week and make it the highlight of this Saturday’s evening. The move comes on the heels of Renato Moicano’s injury. Moicano was originally slated to take on Arman Tsarukyan to cap off the evening.
Although fans will have to wait for a Moicano-Tsarukayan matchup for a later date, Song Yadong and Ricky Simon shouldn’t disappoint. The match remains about a pick em, with Simon getting the slight advantage as a -135 favorite over Yadong (+110). The new main event hasn’t had prop markets lined at any U.S. based sportsbooks, but offshore accounts have the fight slightly favored to finish inside the distance. Fans are still waiting on UFC prop bet odds for TKOs and round finishes.
Simon has a 20-3 record and is coming off five straight wins. His last two victories were Round 2 finishes, the first by knockout over Raphael Assuncao which he followed up with a submission win over Jack Shore last July.
Song lost his last fight by doctor’s stoppage in Round 4 against Cory Sandhagen. Before that letdown he won three straight fights.
One advantage Song might have is that despite losing his last fight, he did prepare for a five round bout and it did make it to the 4th. Ricky Simon has not had a fight go more than three rounds– win or lose– since he won a five round decision over Chico Camus in December of 2017. Nevertheless, the UFC betting market is still favoring him over Song.
