Song poked Cejudo in the eye midway through Round 3. Even though he utilized all five minutes allotted to him for the foul, Cejudo elected to continue the fight. It was when he got back to his corner that he openly complained to his cornermen and the commission about the damage to his eye.

Song Yadong earned a technical decision victory after Henry Cejudo said he could not continue following an accidental eye poke in Saturday's UFC main event.

SEATTLE -- Henry Cejudo and Song Yadong had a lot to fight for on Saturday, but the outcome of their UFC Fight Night headliner won't satisfy anyone. The promotion's first visit to Seattle in 12 years came to a disappointing conclusion after an eye poke rendered Cejudo unable to continue.
