As reported by veteran journalist, Trent Reinsmith, both Yadong and his fellow bantamweight contender, Rob Font both scored a card-best payout of $320,000 for their winning efforts against Henry Cejudo, and Jean Matsumoto, respectively.
Headlining the promotion’s return to Washington, perennial challenger, Yadong managed to land an eventual third round decision win over former two-weight champion and Olympic gold medal winner, Cejudo.
