Bantamweight is one of the deepest and most exciting divisions in mixed martial arts. On Saturday, two top 15 fighters in the UFC bantamweight rankings will look to end 2023 with a burst of momentum when Song Yadong and Chris Gutierrez clash in a UFC Fight Night headliner.

The event was originally set to take place in Shanghai but in November it was announced the card had moved to the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The announcement came shortly after Yadong and Gutierrez were announced as the headliners.

No. 15 ranked Gutierrez is looking to ensure a winning 2023 campaign when he faces Yadong. His year started with a decision loss to Pedro Munhoz. That loss snapped an eight-fight unbeaten streak, with Gutierrez's previous loss coming in his UFC debut in November 2018. Gutierrez was able to get back on the winning track in October with a decision win over Alateng Heili.


Yadong sits higher in the rankings, currently holding the No. 7 spot with a 9-2-1 record in the Octagon. His lone fight in 2023 was a fifth-round TKO of Ricky Simon. The win over Simon helped Yandong rebound from a September 2022 TKO loss to Cory Sandhagen. The fight with Gutierrez is Yadong's third consecutive main event
.

The undercard sees some interesting matchups throughout. A pair of veteran light heavyweights look to keep their spot in the rankings when Khalil Rountree Jr. battles Anthony Smith. Bantamweights Tim Elliott and Su Mudaerji are set to battle it out. Lightweights Nasrat Haqparast and Jamie Mullarkey are sure to produce fireworks as well when they meet. Jun Yong Park is set to face off against Andre Muniz in a middleweight tussle. And Kevin Jousset takes on Kenan Song in a welterweight fight to open the main card.

Let's take a closer look at the rest of the undercard with the latest odds before getting to a prediction and expert pick on the main event.

Prediction

There are a lot of things working in Yadong's favor entering this fight. The fight moving to the Apex ensures a smaller Octagon, which works to cut some of the space Gutierrez likes to use as a strong kicker and counter-striker. Also, as mentioned, this is Yadong's third consecutive main event, meaning he should be the most comfortable man in a five-round fight.

As long as Yadong can take advantage of the smaller cage to force inside striking exchanges, he should have the edge. Yadong thrives in the chaos of exchanges and his work with Team Alpha Male has developed his wrestling to where he should be able to handle if Gutierrez attempts to shoot in for a takedown to slow the pace.sdfdsfffdsafd
