Yadong vs. Figueiredo Odds
Battle Preview
Yadong is coming off a loss to Sean O’Malley at UFC 324 in January this year, when Suga won via unanimous decision. He previously beat Henry Cejudo via technical decision as he accidentally poked Cejudo in the eye, and before that, the Chinese lost to Petr Yan via unanimous decision.
This guy has 33 fights under his belt, with 22 wins, 9 losses, one tie, and one no contest. He is a tough rival who has gone the distance 16 times, and a well-rounded fighter with plenty of experience, though, not that talented, we need to notice. He doesn’t have any signature skill or anything like that, though he is only 28.
Main and co-main of #UFCMacau announced by Dana White!

Meanwhile, the God of War isn’t doing well lately. Since moving up to the bantamweight, he had a nice up and a tough down. After starting with a couple of wins, Figueiredo met with the elites like Yan, Sandhagen, and Nurmagomedov, losing each bout.
His only win in the past 4 appearances was against Montel Jackson, and that was a split decision, in Brazil. He is 38 years old, and near the end of his career; therefore, Figueiredo’s speed and agility aren’t as they were before.
Yadong vs. Figueiredo Predictions
The home favorite will win here. In short, he is much younger, stronger, more agile and more durable.
