We have just one more UFC PPV Card before the historic UFC 300 next month, but this weekend’s UFC 299 might arguably be even better on paper. At the top, the bantamweight belt will be on the line for the first time in the Sean O’Malley reign, as he takes on Marlon Vera for the second time.
Today, however, we cover the first fight on the main card which could be a headliner in its own right, as a pair of bantamweights killers Petr Yan and Song Yadong go at it. Let’s look at where the odds are headed, both fighter’s pedigree, and who I like to get this one done.

Petr Yan vs. Song Yadong UFC 299 Prediction
Petr Yan (16-5-0)
Joining the UFC in 2018, Yan started out his UC career on a six-fight win streak, before running into Aljamain Sterling in a March 2021 bout. Due to an illegal knee, when Sterling was still on the ground, he dropped his first fight with the promotion and second of his career. Since then, Yan is just 1-3, but a closer look shows all of the losses came via decisions against champions or No. 1 contenders.

Song Yadong (21-7-1)
As for Yadong, also who has 12 fights under the UFC banner, the road has not quite been as difficult to the top 10. Coming in on a two-fight win streak, we most recently saw Yadong in December, a decision win over Chris Gutierrez.
Petr Yan vs. Song Yadong Pick
Still just 31 years old, I think Yan has one more run under his belt in the bantamweight division, and that gets back on track Saturday in this sone. With advantages both in striking and on the ground, I think the Russian will get this one done with more paths to victory.
