  • Henry Cejudo suffered a controversial technical decision loss to Song Yadong at UFC Seattle after an accidental eye poke left him with double vision.
  • The ringside doctor stopped the fight in the fourth round, citing Cejudo's inability to continue due to vision impairment caused by the eye poke.
  • Critics and commentators are divided, with some questioning Cejudo's response to the injury and others defending the severity of the incident.
  • UFC President Dana White dismissed calls for a rematch, stating the eye poke was unintentional and Yadong was performing well before the incident.
