Henry Cejudo shares ominous four-word warning to opponent as fight against Song Yadong is booked for UFC Fight Night in Seattle

Henry Cejudo will look to return to winning ways against Song Yadong in the main event of UFC Seattle on Feb. 22. After the promotion recently announced the news, Cejudo gave his opponent an ominous four-word warning.

'Triple C' is the fourth fighter to simultaneously hold titles in two different weight classes. He is also the second combatant to defend titles in two different weight divisions.

After defending his bantamweight strap against Dominick Cruz at UFC 249 in 2020, Cejudo announced his retirement from the sport.

However, Cejudo returned to the octagon at UFC 288 against Aljamain Sterling in 2023. Unfortunately, he lost the bout via split decision. The former two-division champ squared off against Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 298 and lost by unanimous decision.

Before UFC MACAU, 'Kung Fu Kid' called out 'Triple C' and accused Cejudo of ducking him. Now that the company has announced Cejudo vs Yadong, the bout is finally coming to fruition in 2025.

ESPN MMA on Instagram shared the same news and captioned the post:

"Henry Cejudo and Song Yadong are set to headline a UFC Fight Night on Feb. 22 in Seattle, UFC Chief Business Officer Hunter Campbell told @mikecoppinger on Monday. Rob Font vs. Dominick Cruz will serve as the co-main event."

Cejudo warned the 27-year-old Chinese bantamweight, stating :

"Song YaDone fu*ked up 🥇"

Henry Cejudo’s coach teases his pupil's flyweight return

As per one of Henry Cejudo’s coaches, he is confident about 'Triple C' returning to the flyweight division. Cejudo vacated the flyweight title in 2019 and shifted his focus to bantamweight.

Cejudo's long-time coach Eric Albarracin who appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show revealed in 2024:

"I think I have a fighter that might go down to 125, you already know who he is... Triple C! He’s never left. He’s coming back to save the division once again. Hopefully, I would like to see him get one fight at 135lbs."
