The UFC was in Seattle for a Fight Night event headlined by two bantamweights, unfortunately, an amazing card was marred by an eye poke in the main event. 

Former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo was poked in both eyes at the end of the third round and tried to finish the fight but after speaking with his coaches between rounds, decided not to continue due to his sight. Song Yadong collapsed on the canvas when the fight was called and sent to the judges. The judges scored the fight for Yadong via a technical decision. 

"I am so sorry Henry, that is not the result I wanted," Yadong said on the microphone after the fight. He called for a rematch with Cejudo. 

When Cejudo took the microphone he was booed 

"We're about to be brother's Bisping," Cejudo joked with Michael Bisping who famously has just one good eye. Cejudo agreed to the rematch after lamenting about the eye. 

This main event comes as a disappointment after the massive knockouts and submissions that came throughout the preliminary card.
