- UFC Shanghai Post Show: Reaction to Song Yadong's epic knockout of Umar Nurmagomedov
The year of the upset keeps rolling on.
On Saturday, Song Yadong added another to the long list of epic upsets in 2026 when he brutally knocked out Umar Nurmagomedov in the main event of UFC Shanghai. A 6-to-1 favorite heading into the fight, the loss is devastating for Nurmagomedov, but transformational for Song, who is now right near the top of the list when it comes to the next bantamweight title shot.
Following Saturday’s Fight Night, MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew and Alexander K. Lee react to Song’s epic upset win and what it means for both men moving forward. Additionally, Jed and AK discuss the post-fight collision between Song and Usman Nurmagomedov, chat about Denise Gomes’ big win over Yan Xiaonan in the co-main event, talk about the rest of the event, answer viewer questions, and more.

1 hr 15 min - No Bets Barred: Can Umar Nurmagomedov Reclaim His Aura Against Son Yadong At UFC Shanghai?
Umar Nurmagomedov is still in the bantamweight mix, but it feels like he’s lost some of his luster.
On Saturday, Nurmagomedov looks to make it three in a row since losing his bantamweight title shot to Merab Dvalishvili, taking on Song Yadong in the main event of UFC Shanghai. It’s an opportunity for Nurmagomedov to earn a title shot and perhaps reclaim some of the aura that seems to have disappeared over the past year, but will he make a statement, or will Nurmagomedov continue to underwhelm?
On the latest episode of No Bets Barred, host Jed Meshew flies solo as he dives into the full UFC Shanghai card. Topics discussed include whether or not Nurmagomedov will get his groove back, if Denise Gomes can keep her upset streak rolling, Kai Asakura’s move to bantamweight, a pair of parlays, the latest on The Climb, and more.
Tune in for episode 163 of No Bets Barred.
