The UFC Octagon returns to China on Saturday, with a UFC Fight Night event headlined by a big bantamweight bout between Song Yadong and Deiveson Figueiredo.Yadong has established himself as a player at 135 pounds, but has failed to break through to the level of championship contender. Yadong now has a chance to pick up a big win over a former UFC champion, and to do so in his home country of China.Sign up for Paramount+ and watch UFC Fight Night: Yadong vs. Figueiredo for no additional fee — every UFC numbered event and UFC Fight Night is included with your subscription! Plans start as low as $8.99/month or $89.99/year! For Figueiredo, a two-time former flyweight champion, Saturday likely represents his last gasp at remaining near the top of the game. After winning three fights upon his arrival at bantamweight, Figueiredo is now on a 1-3 skid that includes a decision loss to Umar Nurmagomedov in January.
Elsewhere on Saturday, light heavyweight veteran Alonzo Menifield looks to get back on track when he takes on rising Chinese prospect Zhang Mingyang. Menifield suffered a brutal first-round knockout loss in November against Volkan Oezdemir. The win ended a brief two-fight win streak that had the American building some momentum. Now, he looks to return to form against Mingyang, who lost by knockout against Johnny Walker last August. Plus, former interim heavyweight title challenger Sergei Pavlovich looks to keep his momentum when he faces Tallison Teixeira. Pavlovich suffered consecutive losses to Tom Aspinall and Alexander Volkov in November 2023 and June 2024 to slow his fast rise up the heavyweight ranks. A pair of wins in 2025 over Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Waldo Cortes-Acosta helped to regain it. Teixeira looks to build off a decision win over Tai Tuivasa in February.Below is how you can catch all the action on Saturday in Macau, China.
