The Ultimate Fighting Championship's latest UFC Apex card will feature an exciting bantamweight fight.

The UFC Fight Night 223 main event will see Yadong Song take on Ricky Simon over five rounds. Both bantamweight contenders successfully made weight, although not all fighters were as professional. Irina Alekseeva notably missed weight by four pounds and came in at 140 pounds for her bantamweight fight against Stephanie Egger. Meanwhile, Hailey Cowan came in 1.5 pounds heavy for her fight against Jamey-Lyn Horth. Both overweight fighters have been fined a percentage of their purses.

This marks the second UFC main event for Song (19-7-1, 1 NC), who is coming off a doctor stoppage loss to Cory Sandhagen. The defeat snapped an impressive three-fight win streak for the Chinese fighter. "Kung Fu Kid" will look to bounce back and stepped on the scale at 136 pounds on the dot.

Meanwhile, this marks the first UFC headline fight for Simon (20-3). The bantamweight contender is riding a five-fight win streak, which includes an impressive submission over Jack Shore and a knockout of Raphael Assuncao. Font hasn't lost since 2019, which saw him fall to both Rob Font and Urijah Faber. Font also weighed in at 136 pounds.

UFC Fight Night 223 will stream in its entirety on ESPN+, with prelims also airing on ESPN2. The prelim card begins at 4:30 p.m. ET/1:30 p.m. PT, while the main card starts at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
