Song Yadong Questions Alex Perez’s Low Blow Injury After UFC Macau Controversy
Song Yadong has added more controversy to the aftermath of UFC Macau, questioning whether Alex Perez truly suffered as badly as it appeared from a low blow during their fight.
Yadong gave a blunt reaction after the bout, suggesting Perez looked hurt inside the cage but seemed fine once the fight was over.
“As soon as he got off the ring, he was fine,” Song said. “You’re in trouble when you’re in the ring, but once you step off, you’re totally fine.”
It was a strong accusation, and one that immediately sparked debate among fans.
Song Yadong Clearly Was Not Convinced
Low blow situations are always difficult in MMA.
Sometimes a fighter is clearly affected and needs time to recover. Other times, opponents, fans, and analysts question whether the reaction was exaggerated. Song clearly falls into the second group.
From his view, Perez’s condition seemed to change too quickly after leaving the cage. That is why he believes something did not look right.
For a fighter like Song, who was directly involved, the frustration is understandable. No athlete wants a fight changed by a foul, pause, or controversial injury moment.

A Dangerous Accusation in MMA
At the same time, accusing a fighter of faking an injury is serious.
Low blows can affect fighters differently, and pain is not always visible in a simple way. Some athletes may recover quickly after a few minutes. Others may look fine externally but still be dealing with discomfort.
That is why these situations are hard to judge from the outside.
Song may believe Perez exaggerated, but unless someone is inside the fighter’s body, it is impossible to know exactly how much pain he felt.
This controversy has created two clear reactions.
Some fans agree with Song and believe Perez looked fine once the fight was over. They see it as suspicious and think Yadong has a point.
Others believe fighters should be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to illegal strikes. If a low blow lands, the affected fighter has the right to take recovery time and protect himself.
That is what makes the debate so heated. It is not just about one moment. It is about fairness, fighter safety, and whether competitors should question each other’s pain.
Song Yadong’s Frustration Is Understandable
For Song, this was not just a random opinion. It came from the emotion of fight night.
Fighters spend months preparing for one opponent. When a fight becomes defined by a controversial moment instead of clean action, frustration builds fast.
Yadong likely wanted a clear result, a clean performance, and no questions afterward. Instead, the low blow moment became part of the story.
That is why he reacted strongly.

Song Yadong questioning Alex Perez’s low blow injury has added more drama to UFC Macau.
His message was clear: he believes Perez looked hurt inside the cage but fine once he left. That has led some fans to agree with him, while others argue that low blow injuries should not be dismissed so easily.
In the end, the controversy shows how difficult these moments can be in MMA.
One foul, one reaction, and one post-fight comment can turn a fight into a debate that continues long after the final result.
