AUGUST 30 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

Shocking defeat in Shanghai main event Nurmagomedov lost to Yadong Song via KO (punch) at 1:48 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Shanghai, China.

Impact It's a defeat Nurmagomedov is going to have a very difficult time overcoming as a -600 favorite. Umar won Round 1 on all three scorecards after landing one of his trademark takedowns and racking up some control time. He appeared to be in fine position early in Round 2 before a short Song uppercut connected just behind the ear and sent Nurmagomedov crumbling to the mat. The fight was over seconds later. It's really difficult to knock a guy with a 20-2 professional record, but Umar is now 2-2 in his past four bouts, including dropping a UFC Bantamweight Championship fight to Merab Dvalishvili back in January 2025. In a division as competitive as 135 pounds, even a brief poor streak is a potential death sentence.
