For nearly two full rounds, Song Yadong mauled Felipe Arantes in every aspect of the fight, from the feet to the floor.

But with time ticking down in the second frame, it was a blistering elbow from the clinch by Yadong (13-4 MMA, 2-0 UFC) that planted Arantes (18-10-1 MMA, 5-6-1 UFC) on the mat, bringing about the stoppage with just one second left in Round 2.

The bantamweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 132 event at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore. The entire card streamed on UFC Fight Pass.

Right away, Yadong was the visibly faster fighter in this one while tagging Arantes with blistering combos to the body and the head and then disappearing when Arantes came back with an answer.

That quickness seemed to take its toll on Arantes, who appeared to be playing catch-up from the start and only falling further and further behind.

In the second, Yadong took his dominance to the mat, swarming Arantes with ground-and-pound and nearly locking up an arm-triangle choke finish midway through the round. When Arantes escaped and got back to his feet, Yadong kept the pressure on in the clinch, pausing only briefly before hammering Arantes with a short elbow strike behind his ear.

That would prove to be the decisive blow, and Arantes collapsed immediately with Yadong in close pursuit. But with Arantes clearly no longer in the fight, the end came at the 4:59 mark, which likely only saved Arantes from further damage in the third.

“The pressure of success only motivates me,” Yadong said. “The more, the better. I’ve been training hard and am ready for the UFC to come back to China. When I got to debut last year in China, it meant everything. Being able to be on another Chinese card will mean Chinese fans can understand MMA more – but the world can see the Chinese culture up close through the lens of MMA.”

Yadong has now won two straight in the UFC, and five in a row overall. Arantes suffers his third consecutive loss.
