After an eleven-year absence, UFC storms back into Seattle with a knockout card at Climate Pledge Arena. The main event pits Olympic gold medalist and former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo against rising star Song Yadong in what promises to be a bantamweight masterclass. The co-main event brings even more heat as legendary Dominick Cruz emerges from a two-year hiatus to face the explosive Rob Font.

But arrive early—this Fight Night kicks off with five preliminary bouts that could steal the show. From technical wizardry to raw power, these 135-pound warriors bring the kind of action that made Seattle fall in love with MMA in the first place.
