UFC Seattle: Henry Cejudo vs. Song Yadong: Full video highlights

Song Yadong and former UFC champion Henry Cejudo locked horns in a bantamweight clash on Feb. 22. The matchup headlined the UFC Seattle card and the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington served as the venue.

The event marked Cejudo's return to the octagon after a one-year hiatus. He entered the fight on a two-fight losing streak. Yadong, on the other hand, came up short against Petr Yan in his last outing in March 2024.

In the opening round of the fight, Cejudo landed a leg kick that seemingly affected Yadong's leg movement.

'The Messenger' landed heavy blows in the last moments of the second round.

The action picked up in the third round as both bantamweights found success with their strikes.

Cejudo was on the receiving end of an accidental eye-poke that paused the fight for several minutes.

After the end of the third round, Cejudo complained to his corner that his vision had been compromised.

This led to the fight being stopped and the outcome went to the judges' scorecards. They scored the contest 29-28, 29-28, and 30-27 in favor of 'The Kung Fu Kid'.
