Song Yadong vs Marlon Vera Prediction – Song Yadong -190
The fight here is one that will see Vera who has been really good in his past 5 bouts finally face someone that many would consider to be his equal. However, one thing that is going to be very interesting for the fans is the fact that the switch style along with the Jiu-Jitsu that comes from Vera may not really help him out here. Look for Yadong to come into the fight here and do just enough to secure the win and bring it home rather easily.
