We have you covered for all of tonight’s UFC Seattle results, including the main event between Henry Cejudo and 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-to-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-to-back wins over Ricky Simon and Chris Gutierrez.
