The Octagon returns to Washington for tonight’s UFC Seattle event, a 12-bout fight card headlined by Henry Cejudo vs. Song Yadong.
Cejudo (16-4 MMA), a former two-division UFC champion, will be looking to snap a two-fight losing skid when he takes to the Octagon this evening. ‘Triple C’ is coming off back-t0-back decision losses to Aljamain Sterling and Merab Dvalishvilli respectively. Prior to those setbacks, Herny Cejudo had put together a six-fight winning streak which culminated in him capturing both the promotion’s flyweight title and bantamweight championship.
Meanwhile, Song Yadong (21-8-1 MMA) will also enter tonight’s headliner looking to rebound, this after suffering a unanimous decision loss to former champ Petr Yan 11 months ago at UFC 299. Prior to that setback, ‘The Kung Fu Kid’ had earned back-t0-back wins over Ricky Simon and Chris Gutierrez.
UFC Seattle is co-headlined by a highly anticipated middleweight contest featuring Brendan Allen taking on Anthony Hernandez.
Allen (24-6 MMA) was most previously seen in action at last September’s UFC Paris event, where he suffered a decision loss to streaking contender Nassourdine Imavov. Prior to that setback, ‘All In’ had put together a seven-fight win streak, which included submission wins over Bruno Silva and Paul Craig.
Meanwhile, Anthony Hernandez (13-2 MMA) currently boasts a six-fight winning streak, his most recent being a fifth-round TKO victory over Michel Pereira last October. ‘Fluffy’ has earned stoppage wins in five of his past six fights, including a TKO victory over Edmen Shahbazyan and a submission win over Roman Kopylov.
