9 p.m. ET: Main Card | 6 p.m. ET: Prelims
Both Available on ESPN+ & SiriusXM Fight Nation
UFC action continues this weekend with UFC Fight Night: Cejudo vs. Song live from Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle on Saturday, Feb. 22. The main card begins at 9 p.m. ET with the prelims starting at 6 p.m., both available on ESPN+ and SiriusXM Fight Nation.
Main Event:
- A top 10 showdown at bantamweight headlines the main event when No. 7 Henry Cejudo takes on No. 8 Song Yadong. Cejudo (16-4), a former two-division champion and Olympic gold medalist, looks to return to his dominant ways with a showstopping victory against a talented opponent and prove he still belongs at the top of the highly competitive weight class. Song (21-8-1), a powerful striker entering his ninth year in the Octagon at only 27 years old, plans to use this opportunity to shake up the division with a statement performance against Cejudo.
Co-Main Event:
- The co-main event sees Dana White’s Contender Series alums, No. 9 Brendan Allen going head-to-head with No. 12 Anthony Hernandez in a ranked middleweight contest. Allen (24-6), who holds the second-most submission wins in division history and is 7-1 in his last eight Octagon appearances, looks to even the score with Hernandez following their first bout in 2018, prior to their UFC careers. Hernandez (13-2), who jumped into Dana White’s Contender Series following his victory over Allen, plans to further his current six-fight win streak and move into the top ten with a dominant finish.
