Song aims knockout of O'Malley
Song Yadong is set to meet Sean O'Malley in the co-main event at UFC 324 and says he intends to finish the fight by knockout.
He calls the bout a turning point for his career and says a routine victory may not be enough to move toward a title shot, reportedly increasing the pressure to produce a decisive result.
With other high-profile fights on the same card, Song says he needs a standout performance to separate himself from the rest of the division.
The build included an insensitive faceoff stunt by O'Malley involving a medical mask, which drew backlash and an apology, according to reports.
Song says he is focused on the contest itself and is not letting the pre-fight controversy distract him as fight night approaches.
