The UFC returned to Las Vegas this Saturday night (9) for another event in the most famous octagon in the world. And a bantamweight duel marked the card, this one between China’s Song Yadong and American Chris Gutierrez.
Maybe it wasn’t the best of fights, but Yadong put in a great performance in the cage and dominated the fight. With such control, he was able to triumph in the judges’ decision and achieve his second consecutive victory in Ultimate.
Fight
The Chinese quickly rushed forward, mostly with kicks to annoy Gutierrez, who responded in kind. The first round had a lot of balance, but without much power to hit both.
The American fought in the second round and was able to land his punches better while standing, but was unable to avoid being taken down by the Chinese. On the ground, he attempted a triangle, but during the attempt was cautioned by the referee for trying to stick his fingers in Yadong’s gloves.
Gutierrez began the third round by receiving a poke in the eye, but soon tried to force his way into the fight, using occasional kicks and punches to scare the Chinese fighter. Yadong will only start to come forward in the third round, clashing with the American’s good defense, in a very balanced group without any great moments.
A ‘stick’ from the Chinese shook the American, who attempted to respond, but was knocked to the ground again by Yadong. Furthermore, the Chinese put pressure on Gutierrez with ground and pound, even though he no longer wanted to finish but rather score well to gain an advantage in the decisive round of UFC Vegas 83.
Once again, Song Yadong took the fight to the ground and there the fifth man went, with a large advantage up top and using his elbows well to wear down Gutierrez, who attempted a submission in the final seconds, without success.
Brazilian night
There were five Brazilians who entered the octagon of UFC Vegas 83. The only one to fight on the main card was André Sergipano, who faced the Korean Jun Yong Park to try to avoid his third consecutive defeat in Ultimate. The middleweight bet big on his traditional fight game to counter his rival, who also gave the fighter a run for his money, but failed to stop him from winning with a split decision from the judges.
Seeking her second Ultimate victory, Luana Santos faced Stephanie Egger and fought a fight with a lot of strategy and running to overcome the Swiss. First of all, she bet on strong and heavy hands, good movements and feints to dribble her rival’s attacks. This approach caused fatigue for Luana, but she continued to show strength using judo and ground to leave the octagon with her hand raised.

Melk Costa was not so lucky. The Pará man took on Steve Garcia and had a successful first round, taking the fight to the ground and dominating the American. But, right at the start of the second round, a shot from Garcia knocked Melk to the ground, and he was the target of incessant ground strikes until the end of the fight.
