Cory Sandhagen vs Song Yadong Preview
This fight most definitely has potential title implications in the UFC bantamweight division, with the #4 ranked Cory Sandhagen, taking on the #10 ranked Song Yadong.
Despite being the higher ranked fighter, this is probably more make-or-break for Sandhagen. ‘Sandman’ has losses against the likes of Petr Yan, TJ Dillashaw and current bantamweight champion, Aljamain Sterling.
Song on the other hand, could ascend into title contention with a win here, as he hasn’t fought any of the top, top guys before.
Song has a win over the high flying Marlon Vera, which stands him in good stead in the division and a win here would surely catapult him right into the title picture at 135-pounds.
A win here for either man could see a title shot come their way next, but this is the more likely outcome for Song Yadong. ‘The Kung Fu Monkey’ is probably the most successful Chinese fighter in UFC history, and a win here could well solidify both that and his shot at UFC gold next year.
Cory Sandhagen vs Song Yadong Betting Pick
If you look at the resumé of both of these fighters, it is clear to see who has fought the higher level of opposition. As previously mentioned, Sandhagen has been in there with the likes of the champion Sterling, Dillashaw and Yan.
All of these guys are right at the top of the bantamweight tree right now, so it is no disgrace that ‘The Sandman’ has lost to these guys. Alternatively, only one of Song’s losses has come in the UFC, with his other five coming before he was signed to the biggest MMA organisation in the world.
For us here at SportsLens, Sandhagen is more of an all round mixed martial artist than Song is. If it stays on the feet, Sandhagen has the slight edge, and if it goes to the ground too, the American has a venomous ground game which has seen him pick up three submissions inside the UFC octagon.
Song’s only real advantage here is his power. So if he does land on the chin of Sandhagen, don’t be surprised if he stops him. However, that seems unlikely, hence why we are edging towards a Cory Sandhagen victory here on Saturday night at the UFC APEX.

Cory Sandhagen vs Song Yadong Best Bet
Our Best Bet for this mouth-watering main event from UFC Fight Night 210 is that Cory Sandhagen will win via decision in his fight against Song Yadong. This is priced sensationally with Bovada, who are offering a mouth-watering +180 for this outcome.
As we have alluded to already, for us there are far more ways that Sandhagen can win. If it goes to the ground, Sandhagen has the edge. On the feet, Sandhagen is more well rounded.
The only potential problem we see here for Sandhagen is that Song Yadong is a serious knockout artist. He carries devastating power in both his hands as well a in his kicks, so if the 30-year-old can stay away from his big shots, we can see him winning this one on the judges scorecards.
At the end of the day, Cory Sandhagen is arguably the best bantamweight in the world outside of the top three or four guys. Losing to the likes of Sterling, Yan and Dillashaw is more than acceptable, so being the gatekeeper at bantamweight should be enough for Sandhagen to get the job done here on Saturday night.
