5 potential opponents for Song Yadong after UFC Vegas 50 win

#4. Song Yadong vs. Pedro 'The Young Punisher' Munhoz

Similar to Frankie Edgar, it appears that Pedro Munhoz is entering the twilight of his career. 'The Young Punisher' is 1-4 in his last five fights, although he was not finished in any of them, and gave a great account of himself in each fight.

Currently ranked at No.9, Munhoz would be a very logical opponent for Yadong, whose win over Moraes will likely see him claim the No.10 spot. Both men are explosive strikers, and when paired together would likely produce an extremely exciting 135lb scrap.

#3. Song Yadong vs. 'Sugar' Sean O'Malley

Finally in the rankings after defeating Raulian Paiva at UFC 269, Sean O'Malley will finally be forced to begin fighting the best the bantamweight division has to offer. His career so far has seen him placed in several favorable matchups, but there are no 'easy' fights within the top 15.

O'Malley sits at No.12 in the bantamweight division, but his name value garners so much stock that it is likely most fighters in the top 15 would be happy to take a matchup with him.

Yadong and O'Malley are arguably the two fighters in the top 15 with the most potential to go far, which could give the UFC pause when considering matching them up with each other.

But it is hard to think of a more fan-friendly fight to make in the entire division right now than Sean O'Malley vs. Song Yadong.
