UFC Bout Between Umar Nurmagomedov and Song Yadong Remains Unconfirmed

Despite rumors, the fight is more likely to occur in January at UFC 311, as revealed by Song Yadong's trainer, Urijah Faber.

Urijah Faber, Song Yadong's trainer, clarified that the rumored fight against Umar Nurmagomedov has not been officially scheduled for December 14.
Faber suggested that the bout might be more likely to occur in January at UFC 311 in Los Angeles.
Nurmagomedov, ranked No. 2, faces a scheduling challenge due to Ramadan in February and March, complicating his path to a title shot against Merab Dvalishvili.
Current champion Merab Dvalishvili has indicated he plans to take a six-month break before defending his title, potentially in March.
Sean O'Malley, recovering from hip surgery, is eager for a rematch with Dvalishvili, adding another layer of complexity to the bantamweight division's dynamics.
