Song Yadong
68% · Decision
  • Striking volume and differential edge for Song (higher output, positive differential vs Figueiredo's negative differential)
  • Physical and durability advantages at the higher weight class favor Song in extended exchanges
  • Song's takedown defense (72%) vs Figueiredo's 35% TD accuracy limits Deiveson's ability to create consistent grappling sequences
Write-up

At bantamweight, Song's size, youth, and pace advantage combined with superior striking differential (4.49 SLpM vs 3.01, +0.53 vs -0.38) and better defensive metrics (55% vs 51% striking defense, 72% vs 58% TD defense) should allow him to keep the fight largely standing and outwork Figueiredo over three to five rounds. Figueiredo's submission threat and opportunistic counters remain live, but his historically lower output, less efficient defense, and likely size disadvantage against a strong, physical Song make it harder for him to consistently win minutes without big moments or sustained top control.
