Yadong Song - Chris Gutierrez. UFC Fight Night 233. Full tournament card

Tonight at the Apex arena in Las Vegas, USA, the penultimate event of this year's UFC Fight Night 233 will take place.

The main event features a non-title bout in the bantamweight division between China's Song Yadong (20-7-1) and American Chris Gutierrez (20-5-2).

Yadong has been in the UFC since 2017, commencing his career with an undefeated streak of six fights, securing five wins before suffering a defeat to Kyler Phillips in 2021. Subsequently, he claimed three more victories and encountered his first career main event, ending in a loss to Cory Sandhagen in September 2022. In April of this year, he returned with a win over Ricky Simon, stopping him in the 5th round at UFC on ESPN 45.

The 32-year-old Gutierrez debuted in the UFC in 2018, starting with a loss to Raoni Barcelos. Following this, Chris secured 7 wins, ended another fight in a draw, and suffered a second loss against Pedro Munhoz by decision in April of the current year. Recently, at a promotion event on October 14, the American rebounded from the setback with a victory over Hayley Alateng by judges' decision.

Both headline fighters in the upcoming show are ranked in the top 15 of the bantamweight division: Yadong holds the seventh position, while Gutierrez stands at fourteenth.
