Song Kenan

The Assassin

China

Crushed by Muslim Salikhov
WelterweightUFC
November 23, 2024
Song lost to Muslim Salikhov via KO (kick) at 3:49 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Macau, China.
ANALYSIS
Song has had all sorts of durability issues in the past and that's not something that typically improves with age. If anything, it gets worse as we saw here. Song got clipped with a wheel kick from Salikhov a little under four minutes in and had zero chance of surviving. A few follow-up blows later and he was done for good. Song is tough as nails and capable of a strong effort here and there, but he'll be 35 years of age in March and is just 2-4 in his last six fights dating back to March 2021. His time is just about up.

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.

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.
