The UFC returns home to Galaxy Arena in Macau tomorrow (May 30) for a UFC Fight Night card headlined by a pivotal bantamweight matchup.
The main event will see former UFC Flyweight Champion Deiveson Figueiredo attempt rebound from a loss to Umar Nurmagomedov when he takes on Song Yadong, who also came up short in a huge matchup with former bantamweight titleholder Sean O’Malley at UFC 324.
The card’s co-main event also carries major stakes for the light heavyweight division, as Mingyang Zhang returns for the first time since being stopped by Johnny Walker at UFC Shanghai last year to face longtime UFC veteran Alonzo Menifield.
