BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Sean O’Malley vs. Song Yadong:
Modestas Bukauskas, UFC light heavyweight: I think O’Malley will go through a resurgence himself. I think he’s motivated to put on a show and prove he’s still that guy, so I think he will get it done here.
Dustin Jacoby, UFC light heavyweight: I like Song Yadong. His striking is legit, and I think in three rounds he can have success against Sean.
Adam Fugitt, UFC welterweight: I’m going with Sean. I’ve seen him train for this camp, and he’s firing on all cylinders, and I think he’s the better striker than Song. Sean’s motivated to make a statement after the losses to Merab and that is what I think he can do here.
Mario Bautista, UFC bantamweight: I think O’Malley gets it done. Sean is a sniper, and although Song Yadong is great, Sean is just a better strikerm and I see him winning that fight.
Gillian Robertson, UFC strawweight: I’m very interested in it. I think Song will pull it off. Both are high-level strikers, but I think Song will be able to edge out a decision.
