After a hectic pay-per-view offering, the
Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to relative normalcy
with
UFC Fight Night 210.
The now 13-fight card is headlined by a bantamweight contest
between contenders Cory
Sandhagen and Yadong
Song. Both main event fighters successfully made their
contracted weights, which was a stark contrast to the drama last
week. All fighters made weight except for Aspen Ladd
(138), who weighed in two pounds heavy for her bantamweight fight
against Sara McMann,
and middleweight Alen
Amedovski (186.5), who initially clocked in half a pound over
for his 185-pound scrap with Joseph
Pyfer. Ladd vs. McMann has since been
canceled by the UFC, while Amedovski came back to weigh 185.5
pounds.

While a title shot seemed inevitable after back-to-back stunning
knockouts over Marlon
Moraes and Frankie
Edgar, Sandhagen (14-4) has now lost two fights in a row. After
dropping a contested split decision to T.J.
Dillashaw, “Sandman” then took a short-notice bout against
Petr
Yan that saw the American drop a one-sided decision. Now the
30-year-old will look to bounce back and show off his full arsenal.
Sandhagen officially weighed 135.5 pounds for his third UFC main
event.
This marks the first headlining fight for Song (19-6-1, 1 NC). The
Chinese fighter has quickly established himself as one of the
division’s guaranteed action fighters, stringing together three
straight wins over Casey
Kenney, Julio Arce
and Moraes. The fighter known as “Kung Fu Kid” has only been
defeated once inside the Octagon, and is looking to keep rising up
the ranks. Beaming with pride while sporting sunglasses indoors,
Song stepped on the scale at 135.5 pounds ahead of his first UFC
headliner.
UFC Fight Night 210 will stream on ESPN+ in its entirety on
Saturday. Prelims begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT and the main card
starts at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
