Daisy Yadong has always been there for Song Yadong, attending his fights and acting as a support system for the UFC bantamweight fighter.

There is no confirmation regarding whether the wife of Song Yadong will be there at UFC Vegas 83 to witness her husband’s fight against Chris Guitterez. This speculation stems from the fact that ‘Kung Fu Kid’ had a different translator in his last fight. However, we will have to wait and see if she decides to turn up for Yadong’s last fight of 2023. The Chinese star recently had a horrifying incident where he was held at gunpoint in the US. But that did not deter his determination to continue fighting in the States.
