Henry Cejudo lost to Song Yadong in a controversial fight at UFC Seattle. Cejudo suffered an eye poke late in the third round, leading to a stoppage after he reported vision loss. Referee John McCarthy criticized the scoring, suggesting the judges should have scored the fourth round as a 10-10 due to the fight's premature end. He argued that the scores of 29-28 and 30-27 were incorrect. Cejudo later shared a photo of his injured eye, revealing he sustained diplopia and corneal abrasion. He expressed a desire for a rematch, stating that he did not lose the fight.
