I really love seeing stories like this. Hope he goes far.

[@newcooldiscoveries5711]

While the American and Chinese politicians continue to rattle their sabers, it good to see real people from the two countries develop a bond a friendship.

Its our governments that always do the quarreling, the common folks from different countries never have big issues. common folks just want to live in peace and harmony. Gov's want money, power, and control in any aspect they can get it. sadly.

[@crassuschan]

A kid asking his mother to send himself to the Shaolin Temple, how badass that was.

[@AlexColberg]

I know it's a cliche, but I feel it: It's too bad that one of those guys has to lose this Saturday. They're both so likable and so skilled.

[@jkbdk6723]

Uncle Faber out there taking care of the youngsters, my man. 💪

[@thinglizzy2718]

Urijah IS a champion in my opinion. The WEC title was basically the world championship belt in the bantamweight and featherweight divisions at that time.

[@larryholstein7925]

he's one of the og's for sure

[@typeg3756]

😂

[@joelmorrison1128]

Ivd only be following a couple years of ufc but the impression I got from Urijah was that he had won the belt at one point. So now I know.

[@thinglizzy2718]

@@joelmorrison1128 He had 4 successful defenses of the 145 pound title before losing to Mike Brown by 1st round KO. Then Aldo beat Brown for the title, and after he had 3 defenses. The UFC/Zuffa bought the WEC and Aldo was given the UFC title before he even fought. Like Ronda from Strikeforce That’s the general summary. Keep watching MMA and you’ll learn the incredibly rich history of the sport

[@joelmorrison1128]

@@thinglizzy2718 thanks. I go down some rabbit holes but prefer to follow the up and coming unkown fighters to root for them.

[@davidkim2016]

Bantamweight is #1 division right now imo. So many kings with masters in their own respective styles.

[@_cohen]

He’s so unbelievably young he will do great things in the ufc

[@Udai_taxim]

Yeah if he leaves Team Alpha Male

[@Cesar-dp1jc]

8:07 Faber is not only my MENTOR, but also a good friend.

[@JohnnyC-137]

I love these type of stories especially coming out of the UFC! Keep up the good work creating excellent content 👍

[@T0nit0_LIVE]

Song Yadong will thrive with coach urijah's coaching in alpha male, hopefully it goes as well as i think it will be

[@zackhicks5320]

He’ll probably thrive after he leaves Team Alpha Male to be fully honest😂😭

[@PillageMontage]

@@zackhicks5320 he’s thriving right now…

[@therainmakerinsider]

Team Alpha Male and UFC titles… LOL.

[@zackhicks5320]

@@PillageMontage no, he’s rising, not thriving. He hasn’t been a staple in the top 5 nor has he fought any huge names in their prime until now

[@T0nit0_LIVE]

@@zackhicks5320 ok now that makes more sense

[@vistacollege7459]

Song is a future champion for sure.

[@jamesmaguire9518]

I was watching a recent interview with sandhagen and he swears song will be one of the top 3 guys in the division in the upcoming years. High praise from a great fighter in arguably the toughest division

[@leolv520]

I shred a tear witnessing their friendship

[@XKLOSANGELES]

Ever since this fight was first announced I've been rooting for Sandhagen to win because I've always loved his fighting style and mindset. I didn't know much about Song Yadong before this video and now I'm torn because I don't want either of them to lose. Song's story is wholesome and triumphant enough to be in a movie and I love how genuine his relationship with Urijah. I wish them both the best of luck 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@hanmingchen3138]

Bro me too!! Love them both! Wish they both could win lol!!!

[@abhaydadhwal1521]

Nice to see Song's family as well. Best wishes to you and your wife. 🕊

[@KingTheSuperKong]

Urijah is a good dude

[@dantaylor897]

I love these videos,what a cool relationship & story. Lovin it from New Zealand 👊🇳🇿

[@flowwithtrees9248]

Its so sick to see old fighters coaching new prospects. I would love to see Team Diaz do something similar 💪

[@arvinquazi788]

Diaz lost

[@alexrush4140]

Hope UFC makes more of these. Was really good

[@mikeclizzy2138]

Man we need to start giving more respect to these fighters from china, they are not their government. Guys like song and leech are guys i would want as my friend.

[@friendlyfella123]

This guy amazed me. Definitely champion material

[@doobsnack]

So happy for this kid!

[@jamesrucker7048]

I haven't seen elbows like that since Kenny Florian. This dude is something. He definitely has it

[@Deeplycloseted435]

Kind of a dark horse in the division. He can really bang, and he is better every time we see him.

[@yojon4905]

I love when the foreigners get a W. It makes the sport bigger each time! 👍🏽

[@yummytummy88]

This kid got tons of talent and respects for this coach and his teaching. That will equals to one thing in near future, champion.

[@stretchmc]

Wouldn’t bet against him being champion one day 👏😎

[@potlife777]

more positivity and less click bait and bullshit negative news. this is what we need

[@sully7108]

One thing team alpha male is good at is training bantam weights

[@axevalkyrie9844]

People need friends not enemy.

Let’s go yadong!!!!

Song is an amazing fighter. Hype.

amazing story

[@animalfarm8560]

Let's go champ!

[@Yankies12]

Faber is a nice person

[@st33zy68]

Was a bit skeptical but Song could definitely thrive with a hood wrestling coach; he’s very sound striking wise so adding wrestling to that guy would make him even more dangerous than he already is.

Wow this fight is gonna be the good one cory the sandman sandhagen vs song yadong
