Song Yadong is a skilled UFC bantamweight title contender, ranked #8 at 135 pounds. He recently faced a harrowing ordeal during a late-night drive from San Francisco to Sacramento.
The night started innocently with a quick stop for water. In a candid account, Song disclosed, “It was the first time I had ever been held at gunpoint”. He recounted how he and his friend were on their way back to Sacramento after a night out in San Francisco. Feeling a bit intoxicated, Song craved water during their drive. They searched for a gas station and ended up at one brightly lit establishment.
However, fate had a darker plan in store. As they arrived at the gas station, they were unaware that four individuals were lurking, waiting to commit a crime. “They weren’t following us; they were waiting for a victim,” Song Yadong revealed. He notes the robbers’ deliberate attempt to conceal their identities with hoods and obscured license plates.
While Song’s friend stepped out to buy water, he was suddenly confronted by the armed assailants. They wasted no time in demanding money, his wallet, and his necklace. The situation quickly escalated when one of the robbers used the handle of his gun to strike Song’s friend.
