The Film Room: Yadong Song

Team Alpha Male prospect Yadong Song returns to the Octagon for the third time Saturday when he takes on Ultimate Fighting Championship newcomer Vince Morales at UFC Fight Night 141 in Yadong’s home country of China. Yadong found martial arts at the age of 10 when he was urged by his mother to train wushu. Two years later he found mixed martial arts and began training under Malo Hailin. He turned pro in 2013 at just 16 years-old. During this time, he worked as a security guard and street vendor, which he used as motivation to make it in MMA and one day be a champion.
