Gets right back in win column
WelterweightUFC
August 17, 2024
Song defeated Rick Glenn via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-26, 29-28) at UFC 305 on Saturday in Perth, Australia.
ANALYSIS
This was a very competitive fight for five minutes, but once Song managed to stay upright for good, he cruised. Song gave up a pair of Round 1 takedowns before finding his range. He strung together some beautiful combinations and battered Glenn with countless power shots. Song racked up a ton of submission victories early in his career, but that part of his game has all but vanished during his UFC run. As is, Song is a one-dimensional power puncher best suited to succeed in brawls. The 34-year-old is sporting a .500 record over his past six bouts dating back to February 2020.
New fight scheduled
WelterweightUFC
July 11, 2024
Kenan is set to fight Rick Glenn at UFC 305 on August 17 in Perth, Australia, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Kenan will take on Glenn in the welterweight division and look to bounce back after losing to Kevin Jousset via unanimous decision in December of 2023. Glenn has lost his last three fights and hasn't made it out of the first round in his previous two.
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.
Booked for UFC Shanghai
WelterweightUFC
November 10, 2023
Song will fight Kevin Jousset at UFC Shanghai on Dec. 9, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Song was able to get back into the win column his last time out versus Rolando Bedoya in August -- his first victory since February 2020. He will face an opponent who has less experience with the UFC but hasn't dropped a fight in his professional career since July 2022.
First win since February 2020
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.
