Cejudo Stares At Yadong In UFC Seattle Poster
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bantamweight champion, Henry Cejudo, will headline the upcoming UFC Seattle mixed martial arts (MMA) event against No. 8-ranked title contender, Song Yadong, on Sat., Feb. 22, 2025 inside Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington.
Now they have an official (and rainy) poster.
Cejudo (16-4) is looking to rebound from consecutive losses to Aljamain Sterling (UFC 288) and Merab Dvalishvili (UFC 298). As for Yadong (21-8), he snapped a two-fight win streak by dropping a decision to former champion, Petr Yan, at UFC 299 last March.
“Personally, I like the fight — I like the fight stylistically, as well,” Cejudo said on his Pound-4-Pound podcast. “I think Song’s going to bring a lot of power, uses a lot of hands, but we also know that once you start doing some other things, he can be fading away just a little bit. I have a good gameplan set in place for a guy that is about 10 years younger than me. Song is a tough opponent but I like it. I can see myself stopping this dude. I really can.”
