Song Yadong Takes Decision Over Former Champ Henry Cejudo
It was an interesting way to end an event that featured so many highlight finishes. Song Yadong was awarded a technical decision over Henry Cejudo in the main event.
The fight went to the scorecards after three rounds of action due to multiple eye-pokes from Yadong that rendered Cejudo unable to continue. The winner declared he wants to run the fight back against the former two-division UFC champion.
Seven straight finishes opened the night, with eight of the opening nine bouts ending early. The last three, though, went to the scorecards.
