Fans respond to Henry Cejudo vs Song Yadong Result
Song Yadong took the biggest victory of his career against the former UFC champion with two weight problems.
The Chinese Bantamweight won a technical decision thanks to 29-28, 29–28, 30–27 Jury Scorecards.
However, the fact that his fight with Henry Cejudo went to the cards so early was due to an eye chef.
'Triple C' took all five minutes of his break before he went back to his corner and insisted that he could not see it.
This led to an interruption at the start of the fourth, with the fight on the way to the score cards that Yadong declared the winner and left UFC fans who expressed a mix of emotions on social media.
A fan said, “Cejudo must be cut.” While another addition: “Fear Job of the ref. Was such a great card. “
“Go back to retirement,” noted a third user of social media.
“Very strange series of events. Was a Banger 5 -Rounder, “wrote a fourth fan.
“Triple C becomes Triple L,” a fan spotted.
“Great card ruined,” this angry fan tweeted.

The Brit commented on the night and sent the Octagon to interview both men after the fight, where Cejudo Bisping told: “We are about to become brothers, Bisping. I couldn't see from my left, my right is okay.
“But I think that even in that last minute when he chased me, I didn't know what he threw at me. I can't see from the left, so I wanted to continue, I tried to continue, but if I can't see it, Bro, this guy will hurt me.
“Of course we can walk back. But f— it, man, that f – finger went pretty well in my eye. “
Cejudo temporarily withdrew from MMA after switching Dominick Cruz on UFC 249 in May 2020.
The 38-year-old released his Bantamweight belt and spent three years on the sidelines.
