Veteran Welterweight Talks Competing At Home, Facing Sanda Legend On Saturday
By E. Spencer Kyte • Nov. 20, 2024
Three of Song Kenan’s first four UFC appearances came in his home country of China, with the powerful welterweight racking up victories in two of those outings to begin his journey on the biggest stage in the sport. The last of those triumphs came in August 2019, when he out-worked Derrick Krantz to collect his fifth win in six fights and rebound from a decision loss to Alex Morono five months earlier in Singapore.
At the time, it probably felt like competing at home would be a somewhat regular occurrence, as the UFC had brought an event to China in three consecutive years.
