Perez looked as though he barely even knew where he was after the crushing blow. He was in a complete daze as the trainers tended to him while he was down on the floor.
There's a reason Urijah Faber is incredibly high on Song Yadong. My goodness, that was nasty. 4-0 in the UFC at age 21. #UFC239

Everything about it is just vicious. Perez opened himself up to attack and suffered the brutal consequences, meeting the business end of the 21-year-old Yadong's fist. The victory brings Yadong to 14-3-0 and sends Perez to 21-8-1.
