Sean O’Malley vs Song Yadong Officially Targeted For UFC 323<\/h2>\n

It is being strongly rumoured in the MMA world that Sean O’Malley will return before the end of the year in a tricky fight at UFC 323 this December.<\/p>\n

Although unconfirmed, it is being reported that the former UFC Bantamweight Champion will take on Song Yadong at UFC 323 on December 6 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

O’Malley is coming into this bout off the back of two consecutive defeats to 135-pound king Merab Dvalishvili. The American lost his bantamweight belt to Dvalishvili back in September 2024 when he was beaten via decision.<\/p>\n

After a lengthy injury layoff, O’Malley rematched Dvalishvili this June, but once again came unstuck against Merab, this time losing via submission in the third round.<\/p>\n

However, it seems that ‘Suga’ has the chance to put that right before the end of the year as he will take on the #5 ranked Yadong in a compelling 135-pound contest this winter in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

UFC 323 is set to go down on December 6 with a venue yet to be confirmed. Fans can expect the O’Malley vs Yadong clash to be the co-main event, unless there are two title fights at the top of the bill.<\/p>\n

Should the fight get signed and announced in the coming weeks, UFC betting sites<\/a> will likely list the former champion O’Malley as the pre-fight favourite to defeat the Chinese MMA phenom.<\/p>\n

Although he has lost his last two fights, O’Malley is world class and still the #1 ranked fighter at bantamweight behind Dvalishvili. That being said, Yadong beat former two-division king Henry Cejudo last time out, so will be confident of another huge scalp.<\/p>\n

Expect official confirmation from UFC President Dana White in the coming weeks as Sean O’Malley vs Song Yadong is set to be announced for UFC 323 on December 6.<\/p>\n
