The UFC had initially planned to headline its return to Shanghai but moved the fight to Las Vegas in early November. Now, this bout serves as the main event for UFC Vegas 83, featuring a bantamweight clash between two top-15-ranked fighters, Song Yadong and Chris Gutierrez.
Song Yadong (20-7-1-1) has been part of the UFC since 2017 and currently holds the No. 7 spot in the official UFC bantamweight rankings. The 25-year-old has a record of 2 wins and 1 loss in his last three fights. He secured bonus-winning victories over Marlon Moraes and Ricky Simon, with a doctor stoppage loss to Cory Sandhagen.
Chris Gutierrez (20-5-2) has been on the UFC roster since 2018 and is ranked 14th in the UFC’s 135-pound division. The 32-year-old fighter was on an eight-fight unbeaten streak before suffering a decision loss to Pedro Munhoz in April. He most recently secured a decision win over Alateng Heili in October 2023.
