Key takeaways
Song Yadong beat Henry Cejudo by unanimous decision after three rounds in the main event of UFC Fight Night at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. The co-main event also went to the scorecards: Anthony Hernandez beat Brendan Allen, the division's No. 4, after three rounds at middleweight.
Across the twelve bouts that produced a result, six ended by knockout, two by submission and four on the judges' scorecards — eight stoppages in twelve fights. Two of the four decisions divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Modestas Bukauskas, who stopped Rafael Cerqueira at 2:12 of round one, and five of the eight finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Austin Vanderford's knockout of Nikolay Veretennikov, 9 minutes and 13 seconds in. End to end, the twelve fights filled one hour and 41 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: seven of its seven results came early, against one of the five above it. Ion Cutelaba (submission, round one), Melquizael Costa (submission, round one) and Mansur Abdul-Malik (knockout, round two) all closed before the judges were needed.
Ten ranked fighters appeared, and three of them were in the top two bouts.
Five weight classes were used, middleweight most often with three bouts.
