Song Yadong smashes Alejandro Perez in short time on UFC 239 prelims

Bantamweight Song Yadong made short work of Alejandro Perez during the ESPN prelims at UFC 239 from Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.

The two had barely gotten going when Yadong (15-4 MMA, 4-0 UFC) timed a right hand that sent Perez (21-8-1 MMA, 7-3-1 UFC) crashing to the canvas at the 2:04 mark of the opening round. Yadong not only landed a right but also made contact with Perez’s jaw with his left as he ducked forward. Another punch on the canvas was academic.

Check out the finishing sequence in what’s surely a “Knockout of the Night” contender:

Team Alpha Male protege Yadong is now 4-0 in the octagon with a three stoppage wins.
