Song Yadong vs Marlon Moraes Fight Odds
Song Yadong -250 vs Marlon Moraes
Fight is at 135 lbs and is -250 to end inside the distance.
Like two ships passing in the night, Song Yadong will breeze past Marlon Moraes in both the bantamweight rankings and career trajectory.
After a good run in the UFC from 2017 to 2019, Moraes ultimately hit a wall when fighting Henry Cejudo in a title shot. He was beaten soundly in that fight. In the next fight he was given a decision win that many consider a robbery against Jose Aldo. Since then, he has lost three straight fights, all via knock out. Moraes may have a bit more power early in the fight and may have the cardio to get a takedown, but that is where the advantages end. He will not be able to bring a pace as his cardio issues have become glaring. The only thing about his game that has gotten worse than his cardio, is his durability.

Song Yadong is certainly on an oppositive trajectory. The 24 year old has won two straight and has fought quite solid competition for this stage of his career. He is going to put a pace on Moraes that will absolutely overwhelm him. Even if Yadong is taken down once, he is unlikely to be put into fight ending danger. He will simply return to his feet and continue with the onslaught.
This feels like a poorly conceived matchup, as Yadong’s pace is not one Moraes can keep up with. It is going to be a race to see whether the Moraes gas tank or chin give out first. Whichever it is, it will end with a Yadong finish and Yadong ITD at -120 will be our betting pick.
Betting Pick: Yadong ITD -120
