On February 22, the UFC returned to Seattle for the fourth time, Washington with a Fight Night event with Bantamweight candidates, Henry Cejudo and Song Yadong.

After an incredible piece of preliminary fighting, all of whom ended in finishes, fans hoped for a competitive fight between the former UFC Double Champion, Cejudo and veteran Bantamweight, Yadong.
