Song Yadong is hoping that Vera beats O'Malley

Song Yadong, a Chinese fighter in the UFC's lightweight division, shared his expectations for the upcoming fight between the organization's featherweight champion Sean O'Malley and challenger Marlon Vera.

"I like Sean O'Malley, his style, he's smart and it looks like he's definitely going to win the fight. But I hope Marlon wins. If Vera wins, it's quite possible that he could give me a rematch as he's always complaining about the result of our first fight. If he beats O'Malley, I will be the next title challenger," Song is quoted by sherdog.com.

Recall, O'Malley's fight with Vera will headline UFC 299, which will take place on March 10. At the same event, Song Yadong will fight former UFC champion Peter Yan.
