Fight card announced for UFC FIGHT NIGHT on May 30th at Galaxy Arena

Galaxy Macau has announced the much-awaited fight card for UFC FIGHT NIGHT, on May 30th, with China’s Song Yadong facing off against Brazil’s Deiveson Figueiredo.

The main event sees No.5-ranked bantamweight Song face off against No.7-ranked Figueiredo at Galaxy Arena.

Earlier this year, Galaxy had announced that the UFC would be returning to Macau for the fifth time, as part of a multi-event partnership between the gaming partner and the UFC to host three Fight Night events in the 2026-2029 period.

The co-main event will see China’s No.15-ranked Zhang Mingyang face off against American UFC veteran Alonzo Menifield in a light heavyweight bout.

The card will also feature a heavyweight matchup between No.3-ranked Russian Sergei Pavlovich and No.11-ranked Brazilian Tallison Teixeira. China’s “Tibetan Eagle” Su Madaerji and US Alex Perez go head-to-head in bantamweight, a women’s strawweight style-versus-style bout between Muay Thai world champion Loma Lookboonmee faces off against Brazilian grappler Jaqueline Amorim.

In flyweight, Japan’s Rei Tsuruya takes on Mexico’s Jesus Aguilar, while in bantamweight the “Mongolian Murderer” Aori Qileng goes up against Australia’s Cody Haddon.

Week-long event

The first two days of the three-day event feature the opening rounds of ROAD TO UFC Season 5, a “win-and-advance” style tournament featuring 32 athletes across four divisions selected from Asia-Pacific’s top MMA prospects.

On May 28th, a special main event will feature Chinese striker Rong Zhu, facing the USA’s Victor Martinez in a lightweight bout. And on May 29th, China’s Shi Ming goes up against India’s first and only female UFC representative Puja Tomar in a strawweight bout.

Galaxy has organized a week-long program surrounding the bouts, including UFC meet-and-greets, autograph sessions, and other activities.

Tickets go on sale on April 17th, with three-day combo packages ranging from MOP1,260 ($156) to MOP22,260 ($2,760) and tickets for Fight Night priced between MOP380 ($47) and MOP19,980 ($2,475).
