Ricky Simon Seeking Sixth Straight Win Saturday
2 years agoWhen two rising stars in the UFC's bantamweight division collide, you know there's going to be fireworks. Ricky Simon (13-1) will look to extend his winning streak in the UFC when he enters Saturday's main event to face Song Yadong. Simon keeps a frenetic pace in all of his fights, and he will have to continue to do that if he wants to overcome Yadong. Simon is on a five-fight winning streak with his improved striking skills and gritty wrestling. This weekend's fight will mark Simon's 10th trip to the Octagon, with eight of those bouts ending in victory. DraftKings sees Simon as the favorite with a salary of $8,400. Throughout his UFC career (seven bouts), he averages 91.5 fantasy points per contest. For Simon to win this fight, he needs to be relentless with takedowns, keep Song's back on the canvas and land power shots when Song attempts to get up on his feet.
