UFC Fight Night 234: What has been said?
Both fighters are hoping that headlining the last UFC Fight Night of the year will give their careers a huge boost.
Song said: “I’ve been fighting since I was 16 years old and I fought a lot, so I don’t want to see the past.
“I’m always looking forward, [looking at] the next fight. I think this is just the beginning.
“If I’m healthy, I will keep going and going. I wish I can fight 10 years more.”
Speaking about his aim of moving into the top 10 of the bantamweight rankings, Gutierrez said: “I take it one day at a time, one fight at a time.
“But, with that being said, I think I did enough to be in the mix now and to be talked about.
“I’m excited for what 2024 holds.”
