Song Yadong scored the biggest win of his MMA career against Henry Cejudo at UFC Seattle, but it came with a healthy dose of controversy.
Through more than two-and-a-half rounds, Song and Cejudo delivered an entertaining scrap that saw the two bantamweight stars landing big shots on one another. However, things took a turn for the worse with just over a minute left in the third when Song inadvertently poked ‘Triple C’ in the eye.
Replay showed that it was an especially bad eye poke that prompted Cejudo to take the full five minutes of rest time before resuming the fight.
