The Octagon returns to Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 83 event, an eleven-bout fight card headlined by Song Yadong vs. Chris Gutiérrez.
Yadong (20-7-1 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since scoring a fifth-round finish over Ricky Simon this past April. That victory was preceded by a TKO loss to Cory Sandhagen, a setback which snapped ‘The Kung Fu Kid’s’ three-fight winning streak.
Meanwhile, Chris Gutiérrez (20-5-2 MMA) most recently competed at October’s UFC Vegas 81 event, where he scored a unanimous decision win over Alateng Heili. ‘El Guapo’ has gone 5-1 over his past six Octagon appearances, with his lone loss in that time coming against Pedro Munhoz by way of decision.
UFC Vegas 83 is co-headlined by a highly anticipated light heavyweight bout featuring former title challenger Anthony Smith taking on Khalil Rountree Jr.
Smith (37-18 MMA) was last seen in action at August’s UFC Singapore event, where he earned a split decision win over Ryan Spann. That victory snapped a two-fight losing skid for ‘Lionheart’, as the 35-year-old veteran had previously suffered setbacks to Johnny Walker and Magomed Ankalaev.
Meanwhile, Khalil Rountree Jr. (12-5 MMA) will enter tonight’s co-headliner sporting a four-fight winning streak, his latest being a first-round knockout victory over Chris Daukaus this past August. Prior to that, ‘The War Horse’ was coming off wins over Dustin Jacoby, Karl Roberson and Modestas Bukauskas.
