Song Kenan

The Assassin

China

Outclassed by Kevin Jousset
WelterweightUFC
December 9, 2023
Song lost to Kevin Jousset via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Song took a unanimous decision from Rolando Bedoya in August, his first win since 2020. He was back in the Octagon here against Jousset and it didn't go well, to put it mildly. Actually, Song spent nearly the entire 15-minute bout serving as a punching bag for his opponent. He ate far too many low kicks, which left him unable to plant and return fire. You aren't going to win too many decisions when you find yourself on the short end of a 158-88 total strike count. Song's two prior defeats came against quality competition in Ian Garry and Max Griffin, so perhaps that will help him retain his roster spot for the moment.

WelterweightUFC
August 26, 2023
Song defeated Rolando Bedoya via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Singapore.
ANALYSIS
Entering having lost back-to-back fights via knockout (Ian Garry, Max Griffin), Song almost certainly needed a win to extend his time with the company, and he got it as a +285 underdog. Song deserves credit for rebounding following a slow start. He picked up his activity over the course of the final ten minutes, highlighted by a Round 3 knockdown. Now 33 years of age, the victory is Song's first since February 23, 2020, a first-round knockout of Callan Potter.
Set for August fight

July 14, 2023
Song will take on Rolando Bedoya at UFC Singapore on August 26, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Song will look to break a two-fight skid and is in search of his first win in over three years. He will face an inexperienced fighter in Bedoya, who dropped a decision to Khaos Williams via split decision in his UFC debut in May. At 33 years old, If Song can't overcome Bedoya, it's possible his tenure in the UFC could come to an end.
Fades late in knockout loss
WelterweightUFC
March 4, 2023
Song lost to Ian Garry via TKO (punches) at 4:22 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Song had a real chance to pull the upset here, which is all you can ask from any fighter that enters as a +550 underdog. He accomplished next to nothing nearly the entire opening round before one massive left hand floored Garry. Song pushed the pace in hopes of the finish, but his opponent managed to survive the frame, and Song's chances of winning went up in smoke as a result. Song's power is legitimate, but his stand-up defense is poor, and he has questionable chin. It makes for a lousy combination. The soon-to-be 33-year-old has now lost back-to-back fights on the heels of a brief two-fight winning streak.
