Song Yadong is coming home. Song, who trains with Team Alpha Male in California, returns to his birth country for a main event tilt. Song fights former UFC champion Deiveson Figueiredo in Macao, China.
The top 10 bantamweights look to rebound after key losses at UFC 324, the promotion’s debut on Paramount+. Sean O’Malley beat Song on the main card, while Umar Nurmagomedov felled Figueiredo. Now Song and Figueiredo collide in the UFC Fight Night marquee on May 30.
The card is packed with international flair. Three Chinese fighters compete on the main card with representation from Brazil, the United States, Russia, Japan, and Australia as well. Former interim title challengers Sergei Pavlovich, Kai Asakura, and Alex Perez are among the bunch.

Next month, the UFC heads to the White House. You read that correctly. Some of the promotion’s top stars will fight on the White House lawn at UFC Freedom 250. The seven-fight card, scheduled for June 14, is chock-full of bangers. Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje unify their lightweight titles in the marquee. In the co-main event, former two-division champion Alex Pereira makes his heavyweight debut in pursuit of the interim title. Other notable names on the card include Sean O’Malley, Michael Chandler, and Diego Lopes, plus the late addition of Josh Hokit vs. Derrick Lewis.
After that is the highly anticipated return of Conor McGregor. “The Notorious” former two-division champion fights for the first time in five years, taking on a familiar face in Max Holloway at UFC International Fight Week.
