Former UFC referee ‘Big’ John McCarthy offered his expertise on UFC Seattle’s controversial ending.
Stepping into the main event spotlight in desperate need of a win, Henry Cejudo instead suffered his third straight defeat when he surrendered a decision to Song Yadong. Sounds simple enough, but it was anything but.
Closing in on the final minute of the third round, Song inadvertently poked Cejudo in the left eye, bringing a pause to the action. ‘Triple C’ took the full five minutes of recovery time and opted to finish the remainder of the round.
