Former Opponent Mistakenly Believed Song Yadong Was Fighting Sean O'Malley at UFC 324
A former adversary of UFC bantamweight Song Yadong recently admitted to an interesting mix-up regarding the highly anticipated UFC 324 event. This unnamed opponent initially held the belief that Yadong was slated to face the reigning bantamweight champion, Sean O'Malley, on the card.

Despite the former foe's assumption, Song Yadong was not, in fact, scheduled to compete against Sean O'Malley for that particular event. Such misinterpretations can occasionally arise amidst the flurry of news, rumors, and official announcements that precede major UFC fight cards, even among fellow professional fighters keeping tabs on the division.
