Who Is the Favorite to Win Cejudo vs Song?
The favorite to win the main event of the Cejudo vs Song fight card is Song Yadong. It may be surprising to see Henry Cejudo as an underdog in this matchup, but the trajectory of Song Yadong is hard to overlook. He lost to the dangerous Petr Yan the last time he was in the cage but won back-to-back fights before that defeat. His size and length give Yadong a major advantage over Cejudo, and the fact that he is 11 years younger than Cejudo also plays a major factor in the decision to make Song Yadong the favorite to win.
Henry Cejudo: Recent Performances and Form
Henry Cejudo was the fourth-ever double champion in the UFC, holding both the Bantamweight and Flyweight championships in 2019. He then retired in 2020 before making his return in 2023. His accolades are extensive, but he is now 5 years older than he was when he held the UFC title and is not getting any better at this stage of his career. He has gone 0-2 with losses to Aljamain Sterling and Merab Dvalishvili after his 3-year layoff, and a loss to Song Yadong would likely signify the end of his illustrious career.
Henry Cejudo relies on wrestling to find success, but this size mismatch will make it difficult for him to take Song to the floor. Cejudo is no slouch on the feet, but standing and trading with the lethal Song Yadong would not be a wise decision. Cejudo will need to make this fight ugly by taking Song to the mat; otherwise, he will be forced to hang up the gloves as he slides out of the UFC rankings.
Song Yadong: Recent Performances and Form
Song Yadong is looking to propel his way up the rankings in a very crowded bantamweight division. He is 10-3-1 in the UFC so far and is capable of landing a big knockout against Cejudo on Saturday night. He recently lost to Petr Yan in a one-sided decision but went 5-1 against relatively strong competition before his fight with Yan. He has been on the sidelines for nearly a year by the time he enters the cage and will look to shake off the rust in the early stages after taking the most time off in his professional career.
Yadong finds success on the feet, but his solid grappling will allow him to stay competitive with Cejudo on the mat, too. There is no doubt Song will be looking to land a knockout blow, with 5 of his last 9 victories coming by knockout. His speed and power are rarely seen in this division, and Song has the opportunity to add a huge name to his resume with a win.
