UFC returns to Seattle for the first time in more than a decade Saturday with UFC Fight Night: Cejudo vs. Song, an event headlined by a bantamweight bout between former champion Henry Cejudo and standout Song Yadong.
Coverage of the action at Climate Pledge Arena begins at 6 p.m. ET on Disney+ and ESPN+. The main card is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m.
Cejudo (16-4-0) looks to avoid a three-fight slide after dropping matches against Aljamain Sterling and current titleholder Merab Dvalishvili since returning from a three-year layoff. Cejudo faces a fighter in Yadong (21-8-1) who is 5-2 in his past seven bouts but lost his most recent outing against former champion Petr Yan at UFC 299 in March.
Saturday also features a middleweight clash between Brendan Allen and Anthony Hernandez. Allen (24-6-0) seeks a bounce-back performance against Hernandez (13-2-0) after having his seven-fight winning streak snapped in a three-round decision to Nassourdine Imavov. Hernandez has rattled off six straight wins since beginning his UFC career 1-2.
