China's Song Yadong forced Brazil's Deiveson Figueiredo to tap out, giving Song the victory in the bantamweight main event on Saturday at UFC Fight Night in Macau.
Song (23-9-1) locked Figueiredo, 38, in a guillotine choke to force the submission at 4:42 of the second round, handing two-time flyweight champion Figueiredo (25-7-1) his second straight loss and fourth in his last five fights.
It was the first fight on home soil since 2018 for Song, 28, who was coming off a loss by unanimous decision against Sean O'Malley at UFC 324 in January in Las Vegas.
