UFC returns to Shanghai with a high-level bantamweight main event: Umar Nurmagomedov against Song Yadong.

Why Nurmagomedov

The official UFC event page listed Nurmagomedov as a heavy favorite when this preview was updated. His control game and ability to dictate where exchanges happen make him the more reliable winner pick.

Price vs Prediction

The -550 price is expensive. This is primarily a winner prediction, not a claim that the moneyline offers exceptional value. Song's power and home-region support make complacency dangerous.
