UFC Seattle: Song Yadong Wants O'Malley Fight if Cejudo Rematch Doesn't Happen
Briefly

The UFC Seattle main event saw Song Yadong win against Henry Cejudo due to an accidental eye poke that ended the fight prematurely after three rounds. Yadong expressed his regret about the unexpected outcome, stating it was not what he planned. Despite his victory, UFC President Dana White indicated that a rematch was unlikely, leaving Yadong needing to prove himself further. The fighter, known for his respectful demeanor, also praised Cejudo's promotional skills and expressed his desire to compete against top fighters like Sean O'Malley.
My plan is, finish him fourth or fifth round. That was totally [accidental]. I'm not so happy with that, but it is what it is. I feel bad. I feel bad for Henry.
Totally no, I like this guy. He's a good promoter, it made it easier to promote the fight. He did some things to make the people watch the fight- I like him.
My goal is the world champion. So whatever they give me - my goal is, I want to fight the guy who is ranked above me.
Saturday's win in the UFC Seattle main event gives Song Yadong the victory on paper, though coming to an end early seems to have left a sour taste in everyone's mouth.
