Yadong Song's team predicted exact uppercut KO of Umar Nurmagomedov
Yadong
Song's team planned for an uppercut finish throughout training
camp.

Song firmly put himself in title contention in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship with the biggest victory of his
career, finishing Umar
Nurmagomedov in the second round of the
UFC Shanghai headliner. The Chinese bantamweight's coaches
identified the route to victory long before fight night.

Yadong Song explains the preparation behind his UFC Shanghai
knockout of Umar Nurmagomedov

After his knockout victory, Song revealed he had specifically
prepared the uppercut as a counter to Nurmagomedov’s takedown
attempts. “The Kung Fu Kid†claimed that his boxing coach
identified where the Dagestani was vulnerable and they repeatedly
worked on the finishing sequence he pulled off at UFC Shanghai.

Song explained that his team anticipated Nurmagomedov shooting with
his head dipping towards the left side and worked on counters to
that movement.

“My boxing coach, Rudy Hernandez, he already told me, ‘You gonna
get the knockout tonight with uppercut,'†Song said in a post-fight
interview. “We've been working on that. We know he gonna shoot from
the left side and we find the uppercut.â€

In the same interview, Song claimed that he'd finish current champ
Petr
Yan and former champ Sean
O'Malley in rematches after they previously outpointed him. He
also fancies himself against Merab
Dvalishvili.

“I feel like I can finish everyone,†Song added. “You know, I can,
I can finish Petr. I can finish Merab, you know. So even Sean’s
fight is very close. You know, if a rematch, I can finish him
too.â€

16-0 Farid Basharat confirms UFC exit after seven straight wins

16-0 Farid Basharat confirms UFC exit after seven straight wins
Farid
Basharat has addressed his departure from the
Ultimate Fighting Championship in a statement on social
media.

Basharat (16-0) completed his contract with a victory over John Garza
in July and wasn't offered a new deal despite going unbeaten in the
promotion. In his statement, Basharat reflected on his UFC tenure
and questioned the organization's direction.

Farid Basharat says the UFC never offered a new contract after
his unbeaten seven-fight run

Basharat went 7-0 in the UFC after earning a contract on
Dana White's Contender Series, with six of those victories
coming by decision. He confirmed his departure on Instagram, saying
he competed under unfavorable circumstances and never declined a
fight.

“The news is confirmed, I am no longer with the UFC,†Basharat
wrote on Instagram. “I've had an incredibly successful time in the
organization. I'm proud and happy with what I've accomplished
inside the Octagon. I leave with a stainless record. Holding the
longest active win streak in my weight division and the fourth
longest in the entire UFC. I feel I'm the best bantamweight in the
world. I always turned up and fought regardless of injuries and
weight deficits. And I always asked for the toughest opponent to
get me closer to the title.â€

While grateful for his time with the promotion and its staff,
Basharat questioned the UFC's direction and said he had not
received a contract offer since his last bout.

“But my departure clearly has nothing to do with my fighting
capabilities,†Basharat added. “Unfortunately, the organization
just isn't what it used to be. They're heading in a different
direction from what we all grew up loving. I want to clarify that
since my last fight, I was never offered a contract or an opponent;
I waited, but it never came. I've certainly never declined a fight
during my whole tenure.â€
