Bantamweights take center stage this Saturday, with a former two-time UFC champion in the main event.

Figueiredo is well past his prime at this point, and despite being a flyweight, he missed the bantamweight weight limit last time out, not a good sign for an aging fighter. Song, ten years Figueiredo\u2019s junior, is going to be far more active striking and win this fight.<\/p>\n<p>UFC Macau Main Card Pick: Song Yadong ML (-426)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SGPN Daily Content for May 24th, 2026<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2026\/05\/24\/daily-nba-player-props-may-24th-ecf-game-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Daily NBA Player Props<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2026\/05\/24\/mlb-nrfi-and-yrfi-picks-may-24th-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MLB NRFI &amp; YRFI Daily Bets<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2026\/05\/23\/best-bet-for-sunday-may-24th-nhl-playoffs-predictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Daily Best Bet<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2026\/05\/23\/nhl-goal-scorer-parlay-for-sunday-may-24th-nhl-predictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NHL Goal Scorer Parlay<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2026\/05\/23\/nba-playoffs-predictions-preview-for-sunday-may-24th\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Daily NBA Best Bets<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t Forget About our Free Picks Pages, Too!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/nba-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NBA PICKS \u2013 UPDATED DAILY<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/odds.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/college-basketball-picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">COLLEGE BASKETBALL PICKS \u2013 THE PICKS POWERHOUSE<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/nhl-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NHL PICKS \u2013 LET IT SLIDE<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/soccer-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">SOCCER PICKS \u2013 KICK IT ON THE PITCH<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/nascar-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NASCAR PICKS \u2013 FEEL THE THUNDER<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/ufc-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">UFC PICKS \u2013 TAKE DOWN CORPORATE GAMBLING<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like even more info to help make your MMA and UFC picks and predictions for UFC Macau,\u00a0check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/podcasts\/mma-gambling-podcast\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MMA Gambling Podcast<\/a>.
