Song Yadong confident he can take down Henry Cejudo ahead of Seattle showdown
Henry Cejudo is set to make his long-awaited return to the UFC in Seattle, where he will face rising bantamweight contender Song Yadong.
The Olympic gold medalist and former two-division UFC champion has built a legacy on his elite wrestling and well-rounded skills. After a long hiatus, he is stepping back into the octagon, looking to prove he is still a top contender in the division.
Ahead of their fight, Yadong expressed confidence in his ability to handle 'Triple C's' wrestling. When asked about the matchup during an interview with Karyn Bryant, he downplayed the danger of Cejudo’s grappling, noting that even as an Olympic champion, the American has been taken down and controlled before.
Believing in his skills, Yadong stated that he could take 'Triple C' down as well, adding even more intrigue to their upcoming showdown:
"His wrestling is not that dangerous, you know? Like, even [though he is an] Olympic champ, people still can take him down and can smash him. So yeah, give me a lot of confidence, yeah, I can take him down too."
