I see that as well erison . Song is a good fighter who goes in there with no game plan on what the best way to beat his opponent is he just fights and fights off the predicaments he’s in rather than going for something to change it up himself. That’s bad corner advice imo. They need to shout instructions to him there’s no fans

Phillips impressed me with his standing fight, I knew him for his good wrestling and ground and pound.
For his part, this defeat is more profitable for Song Yadong's career than his last "2 victories", he is a fighter who can improve the last misleading results that only caused a false security and because now he will return to training and from the hands of Team Alpha Male will be able to unleash their greatest potential.

Top performance from the Underdog Kyler Phillips a few moments ago... He showed the Blueprint of how to beat Song Yadong... Speed, lateral movement, angles, the occasional spin attack and level change to take Yadong to the mat when required... Yadong is a very good MMA Fighter, but he seems to be trying to rely too much on his power... Needs to come up with a strategy for when Plan A isn't working... 🤔🧐💯🤑🥊👊👍👏

I'm a huge Song Yadong fan, but you are crazy if you didn't give it to Phillips.

How does Song Yadong fight after this? Sean O Malley, if he gets through Almeida (which I think he will)?

I think it's safe to say I'm never going to be here at 2nd on the leaderboard ever again and on such an amazing card. Thanks to MMA Island for help on the picks!

When you can do everything reasonably well, but all you do is stand flat footed and throw two punch combos, you're gonna lose when someone comes at you with an angle. Super frustrating to watch.

lol @ Rogan for being surprised Casey is the favorite. Sure, being chronically injured and not having won a fight in 5 years may affect your betting odds, turns out.

Lot of oohing and ahhing Dom's breakdancing while ignoring Kenney's landed punches. Feels like if there's gonna be a questionable decision, this could be the fight.
