Song Yadong vs Chris Gutierrez Preview & Picks

Song Yadong is backed to win this fight via stoppage.

Song will have no hesitation in engaging in a stand-up war with Chris Gutierrez and he has the stopping power to take him out.

  • Song has won his last 3 of his last 4 fights via KO/TKO
  • Song’s last 4 fights have all ended inside the distance
  • Chris Gutierrez has lost once already this year
  • 6 of Song’s last 8 fights have gone at least 3 full rounds

Song Yadong Form

Song Yadong is the #7 ranked bantamweight fighter with a record of 20-7-1 (9 KOs, 3 Subs) with 1 No Contest.

Song has rebounded from a March 2021 decision defeat to Kyler Phillips by winning four of his last five fights to climb to number seven in the division.

He started a three-fight win streak with a split decision victory over Casey Kenney, before recording back-to-back stoppage wins.

The 26-year-old Chinese fighter claimed a second-round TKO win against Julio Arce, and then needed only 126 seconds to knock out Marlon Moraes.

Song failed to make it four-in-a-row as a doctor stoppage ended his bout with Cory Sandhagen in September of last year, but he bounced back quickly.

In his first fight of 2023, ‘The Kung Fu Kid’ took out Ricky Simon with strikes in the final round of their main event bout in April.

Chris Gutierrez Form

Chris Gutierrez is ranked #14 in the bantamweight division with a record of 20-5-2 (9 KOs, 1 Sub).

Gutierrez earned a UFC deal despite losing on The Ultimate Fighter Finale in November 2018, and he quickly reeled off three straight wins.

His streak was halted a by a draw against Cody Durden, but that did little to slow down his rise up the bantamweight ladder.

The 32-year-old American earned decision wins over Andre Ewell and Felipe Colares, before knocking out Danaa Batgerel in the second round.

Gutierrez then recorded the biggest win of his career so far as he knocked out former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar in just 121 seconds.

He failed to follow that up as he dropped a decision to Pedro Munhoz in April, but he did bounce back in October with a points win over Alateng Heili.

Verdict

Song Yadong has not been rattled by a brutal injury he suffered last year.

He is an aggressive striker with great cardio, and he is backed to break down Chris Gutierrez before stopping him with strikes.
