Yadong
Song has left no stone unturned in preparation for his upcoming
bout against Umar
Nurmagomedov.

Song claims to be well-equipped to deal with Nurmagomedov’s
grappling prowess ahead of their
Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight clash at
UFC Shanghai. The Chinese 135-pounder even worked with Georgian
wrestlers who are familiar with the wrestling system used by
Nurmagomedov’s team.

While Song is a competent grappler, he’s well aware of the
challenge Nurmagomedov presents and is confident should the fight
hit the mat.

“Umar is a very tough guy,” Song said in a recent interview. “Even
everybody knows he’s a very good grappler. So, I just prefer to use
striking… But if you want to grapple, let’s grapple. Doesn’t
matter.”

Song further revealed that he traveled to Georgia before beginning
his latest training camp, where he worked with Olympic and world
champions familiar with the style used by Khabib
Nurmagomedov’s team.

“So, before the camp start, I went to Georgia to train with the
Olympic champs, world champs,” Song added. “They teach me a lot and
they know what Khabib’s team does. So, they teach me some tricks. I
feel super ready for this fight.”
