UFC Fight Night is set to feature some of the former champions and top contenders in the bantamweight division. The bantamweight bout between former UFC champion Song Yadong and Henry Cejudo is headlining the show.
The match will be Cejudo’s first in 2025, and it did not come as much of a shock to fans as the fighter has competed two more times since announcing his retirement after defeating Dominick Cruz at UFC 249 in 2020. Cejudo returned to the octagon again in 2023 but was defeated by Aljamain Sterling in a split decision. He went on to face Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 298 in 2024 and lost. His opponent, Song Yadong, competed in 2024 but suffered a loss at the hands of Petr Yan.
