Song Yadong was just seconds removed from picking up the biggest win of his career after he knocked out Umar Nurmagomedov in the UFC Shanghai main event, and he decided to run around the octagon in celebration. But he ended up in a direct collision with Umar's brother Usman Nurmagomedov, and for a brief second, it appeared that the PFL lightweight champion may have actually taken a swing at Song as he circled the cage.

Matt Brown backs Usman Nurmagomedov after altercation with Song Yadong: ‘It’s an absolutely intense, crazy situation’
Published
7 hours agoon
For his part, Song didn't blink during the brief altercation and Usman later released a statement denying that he tried to hit his brother's opponent. In that moment, Usman was just trying to get to his brother to make sure he was OK after the vicious finish.
Retired UFC welterweight Matt Brown, who now owns his own gym and regularly serves as a corner man to his fighters competing in the octagon, chalks the whole incident up as much ado about nothing.
“It's one of those situations where the news is a little slow this week, and I wish I could get a good headline clip out of this but realistically I think it was a nothing burger,†Brown said on the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer. “I think it will be forgotten. I don't think Usman meant anything by it. Like he said, like [Daniel] Cormier said, he didn't hit him — if he wanted to hit him, he would have hit him.
“His brother just got knocked out. The emotions that you go through, even if it's not your brother, just as a cornerman, you care about your guy and you're running in there and you're trying to help him out and support as best you can and make sure he's OK. A lot of crazy shit is happening.â€
Brown knows from his own personal experience how emotional that experience can be, especially for the coaches and corner men stuck watching from the outside looking in.
He just recently went through something similar when one of his fighters made his UFC debut, and the fight ended with a brutal knockout.
“The fact is it's an absolutely intense, crazy situation,†Brown said. “I dealt with it for the first time the last time I cornered a guy in the UFC. My fighter Josiah Harrell and he got knocked out and they yelled at me to go help him out, because he couldn't tell who was who and what was what. It's a f*cking intense situation.
“It's the first time I ever ran inside the cage when I had a fighter knocked out. I can tell you, what's going through your head, you're living off instinct. There's really not a lot of thought. You only care about one single thing.â€
As much as that moment made it appear that Usman Nurmagomedov was potentially taking a swing at Song Yadong, Brown is confident the only thing Usman was thinking about was his brother.
“This isn't tennis or basketball or something,†Brown said. “You're getting knocked out, there's blood, there's permanent damage that can happen. You're getting injured. It's very intense. The emotions are way different.
“Cornering is tough because you can't control anything. It's really tough. All you can do is hope for the best and yell out the best advice you can give. It's up to them. It makes a tough situation. I don't think [Usman] tried to hit him, obviously he didn't hit him. His mind was 1000 percent focused on his brother and that's that.â€
If Brown had any advice for Usman Nurmagomedov moving forward, it's the reality that maybe he shouldn't corner his brother again due to the extreme emotional turmoil that comes along with that particular pairing.
But whether it's blood relation or not, Brown knows the entire Nurmagomedov team is like family so it's almost impossible to avoid those situations. It really just comes down to handling the emotions in those moments and not allowing something bad to happen like what nearly unfolded on Saturday at UFC Shanghai.
“This is the exact reason why I don't think it's the best to have someone close to you in the corner,†Brown said. “You just don't know what's going to happen. It doesn't matter how much you were supposed to win. It doesn't matter how much better you are then [the opponent]. This is MMA. Insane shit happens all the time.â€

Vitor Petrino fires back at Valter Walker: ‘That guy is a clown’

Petrino isn't letting Valter
Walker’s latest jab go unanswered.
Petrino (15-2) extended his win streak to four with a unanimous
decision over Serghei
Spivac on Aug. 22 to further ascend the heavyweight rankings.
Walker (16-1), who's also among the top-ranked heavyweights in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship, took a shot at Petrino on
social media by posting a photo from his recent fight, labeling it
boring.
Petrino has now fired back.
Vitor Petrino says he has repeatedly asked the UFC to book
Valter Walker
In a recent interview with Sherdog’s Marcelo Alonso, Petrino
responded to Walker's comments about his fight with Spivac,
claiming that he's campaigned for a matchup against the grappling
specialist many times, to no avail.
“That guy is a clown. Nobody respects him. I don't even want to
talk about him much,†Petrino said. “I've asked for that fight
several times and I don't know why the UFC hasn't made it
happen.â€
Petrino’s interest in the matchup isn't new. His coach, Cristiano
Marcello,
previously told Sherdog that Petrino had accepted a challenge
from Walker.
“Unlike him, who has already said he's not interested in fighting
the top guys, I like challenging myself,†Petrino said, taking
another shot at his countryman. “I'll fight anyone in the Top 10. I
love to challenge myself.â€
Walker is on a five-fight win streak, with all five wins coming via
leg-based submissions, including four heel hooks.

BKFC president David Feldman reacts to Mike Perry’s injury in loss and his future in bare-knuckle fighting
Published
6 hours agoon
September 1, 2026
Mike Perry had a bad weekend.
There's no way to sugarcoat what was supposed to be a huge moment for Perry after he booked a fight against the always outspoken Dillon Danis at the Duel Arena show in Orland this past Saturday night. Sadly, Danis failed to show up and dropped out of the fight, but rather than cancel his own appearance, Perry decided to take on late replacement Brandon Jenkins instead.
Early in the opening round, Perry dislocated his shoulder and ultimately suffered a TKO loss when he got blasted by a body kick and finished with punches just seconds later. There's no word on the full extent of his injuries, but Perry is likely looking at a lengthy layoff while he recovers and it's impossible to know right now when he might fight again.
BKFC president David Feldman, who has championed Perry ever since he became a crossover superstar in the bare-knuckle promotion, watched how everything unfolded after his historic event at Fenway Park in Boston this past weekend came to a close.
“Unfortunate for him,†Feldman said about Perry when speaking to MMA Fighting. “I do like Mike. It's not that I don't like Mike. I just don't like some of the things panned out, but I definitely like Mike. The problem with taking a last-minute fight like that, the other guy Brandon Jenkins, had nothing to lose at all. Nothing. So it didn't matter. Mike's shoulder popped out unfortunately for him and then he got kicked and then he got hit a few times and unfortunately he couldn't defend himself.
“Very, very risky. When you're at the top of the game like that, I don't know if I was managing him, I would have done it. But it is what it is.â€
Feldman has repeatedly stated in the past that he wants Perry to return to BKFC, but the two sides haven't reached an agreement on a future fight. In the meantime, Perry scored a huge win over Nate Diaz in the first MVP MMA card back in May before booking his fight in August.
With this new shoulder injury, Perry could potentially be looking at a long layoff and that obviously delays his return to action in any sport including bare-knuckle fighting.
“We'll see what happens with him,†Feldman said. “I don't know the injury, I didn't talk to them yet. I will talk to his team tomorrow and find out what that looks like. Maybe they don't know yet.
“But unfortunate for him, because he's trying to build a great life for his family and unfortunate that he had to take a couple of backward steps. I don't know that I would have done it but they did.â€
As far as booking Perry again after suffering a loss in MMA, Feldman isn't putting much stock in that hurting the promotion behind a potential showdown against somebody like Darren Till.
In fact, Feldman believes Perry can make everybody forget about what just happened if he comes home to BKFC where he's still the reigning “King of Violence.â€
“It's a loss but do people consider he got his ass kicked? I don't think so,†Feldman said. “I don't think it has that much effect on it. It definitely, probably decreases his value a little bit, and we're going to have to talk about it. Who's knocking on his door? It really depends. The whole negotiation's going to go around who else is knocking on his door?
“I think with a good Darren Till performance, we can get the world very [excited]. Here's what [Mike Perry] has to do ‘I'm back where I belong. I'm not doing it anymore. My MMA career was good, but it wasn't great. I'm back where I'm the f*cking king. Let me be the king.' Then if something like that happens, I think we can promote that fight.â€
