This performance marked Yadong’s third win in a row, with prior wins coming over Casey Kenney (Split Decision), Julio Arce (Round 2 TKO).

On the other hand, for Moraes, the results are not coming his way. He has struggled to put together a winning streak since his devastating loss to Henry Cejudo for the UFC bantamweight championship.

The 33-year-old has now fallen to 23-10-1 and has been finished in his last four outings. The only win ‘Magic‘ was able to get in his last six fights was a controversial split decision over Jose Aldo, who was making his bantamweight debut.

Song Yadong wants Dominick Cruz next after UFC Vegas 50 win

Song ‘The Kung Fu Monkey’ Yadong called out former UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz in the octagon interview for his next UFC bout. Hence, the young prospect has declared his intention to become a title contender in the division. A bout between Yadong (#14) and Cruz (#7) would be a stylistic treat for the fans.

Even Henry Cejudo entertained the idea as he tweeted, “I hear you wanna fight Dominick Cruz @SongYaDongMMA? Interesting matchup. Just make sure to bring the beer and cigarettes! #DominickSnooze #ThanksKeithPeterson #UFCVegas50”

It will be intriguing to see if this fight interests ‘The Dominator’, who is riding a two-fight win streak in the bantamweight division after failing to capture the championship against Henry Cejudo at UFC 249.
