UFC Fight Night Cejudo vs. Song Best Bets

The next UFC Fight Night Cejudo vs. Song will feature a main event bantamweight bout between Henry Cejudo (16-4-0) and Song Yadong (21-7-1) and a co-main middleweight showdown with Brendan Allen (24-6-0) and Anthony Hernandez (13-2-0) that you do not want to miss. This UFC betting opportunity will take place at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington, with the main card starting at 9:00 PM ET.

Main Event Betting Preview

Song has a tough loss recently to Petr Yan, but many argue that this was the best possible fight in preparation for this upcoming battle against Cejudo. While he is not as strong at wrestling in comparison to Cejudo, he definitely makes the best case at being the better striker.

He is currently ranked as the eighth-best fighter in the bantamweight division, but has excellent potential to continue climbing. Nine of his 21 wins have come by knockout, so he is no stranger to turning the lights out on fighters.

Cejudo is currently ranked as the seventh-best fighter in the division and needs this win in order to make a case for a title fight down the line. His wrestling is what keeps him in fights, as he is capable of ending it early on the ground.

His skills were put to the test against current champ Merab Dvalishvili, but he came up short with a unanimous decision. He is currently on a two-fight skid, so this will be a must-win for him.

Co-Main Event Betting Preview

Hernandez has built a reputation that is similar to Merab, in that his cardio/conditioning is superb and that he does not let up. He is currently ranked 12th in the bantamweight division, but his stock is clearly rising.

In his battle against Michael Pereira, he eventually ended it with a ground and pound in the fifth round. His relentless attack made it impossible for Pereira to recover and eventually his downfall.

Allen, currently ranked ninth in the division, has been impressive up until his last fight. This was a unanimous decision defeat against Nassourdine Imavov, in which it appeared he lost momentum midway through the fight likely due to cardio.

Imavov was able to get Allen on the ground a lot, which is what Hernandez is best at. This puts Allen at risk for another tough defeat if he is unable to defend against the ground game.
