Former two-division champion Henry Cejudo is seeking his first win since defeating Dominick Cruz in 2020 when he enters the octagon Saturday to face Song Yadong at UFC Fight Night in Seattle.
Cejudo, who has a record of 16 wins and four losses, is set to make his third appearance since unexpectedly announcing his retirement in 2020. After returning to the sport, he suffered a split-decision loss in a bantamweight title fight against Aljamain Sterling at UFC 288 in May 2023 and his only fight in 2024 was a unanimous decision loss to Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 298.
Song, who has a record of 21 wins, eight losses and one draw, is coming off a defeat against Petr Yan in his only fight of 2024.
For fans planning to watch the main event of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night, here is the expected ring-walk time, ensuring you don’t miss any of the action from Seattle.
