UFC Seattle results: Matches to make for ‘Cejudo vs. Song’ main card winners

UFC Seattle went down last night (Sat., Feb. 22, 2025) inside Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Wash., which saw Song Yadong win a technical decision over Henry Cejudo after an inadvertent eye poke forced a premature stoppage after the third round (see it here). In the co-main event, Anthony Hernandez defeated Brendan Allen (again) via unanimous decision, while Jean Silva scored a thunderous technical knockout win over Melsik Baghdasaryan (see it again here).

Winner: Song Yadong
Who He Should Fight Next: Henry Cejudo rematch (Sorry, Dana)

Shortly after he was declared the winner in non-traditional fashion, Yadong was the first person to say running it back against “Triple C” was the logical step to take. Despite Dana White admitting he wasn’t interested in booking a rematch between the two, if both men want it — especially the winner — why not give it to them? Let’s not complicate things here.

Winner: Anthony Hernandez
Who He Should Face Next: Jared Cannonier

The Middleweight division will have a new fighter in the Top 10 come next week because there is no way “Fluffy” doesn’t get in after taking out Allen a second time (his seventh straight win). Last week, I suggested the winner of this fight to battle Cannonier next, and I am still on board with that idea. “Killa Gorilla” is coming off a big win over Gregory Rodrigues (see it again here), and is currently ranked No. 7. I expect Hernandez to take over the No. 8 or No. 9 spot, so now is the time to make this fight.

Winner: Rob Font
Who He Should Face Next: Mario Bautista

Many felt Jean Matsumoto had done enough to get the win over Font, but the judges saw it otherwise, giving the long-time veteran his second straight win. Now, the No. 9-ranked Bantamweight in the world can potentially look forward to a showdown against Bautista, who is on a seven-fight win streak. He was last seen defeating Jose Aldo via split decision in Oct. 2024, and currently sits one spot behind Font in the rankings at No. 10.

Winner: Jean Silva
Who He Should Face Next: Christian Rodriguez

Silva locked up his twelfth straight win — fourth inside the Octagon — after delivering a brutal stoppage over the aforementioned Baghdasaryan. He may need a couple more wins before he can be considered for a spot in the Top 15, so I like a fight between him and Rodriguez next. “CeeRod” is coming off a win over Austin Bashi earlier this year, bringing his UFC record to 5-2, which includes a win over Raul Rosas Jr.

Winner: Alonzo Menifield
Who He Should Face Next: Oumar Sy

Menifield got back on track, snapping his two-fight skid by defeating Julius Walker via split decision. Despite the win, Menifield didn’t show he deserved a step up in competition, so why not book him against Sy once more? The two were set to throw hands at this event before was forced out with an injury. If it’s not too serious, then Sy can make a return this summer.
