UFC returns to Seattle for the first time since 2013 with a stacked card featuring former champions, top contenders and rising prospects when the Octagon is set up at the Climate Pledge Arena on Saturday, February 22.

In the main event, former UFC flyweight and bantamweight champion and current No. 7 ranked bantamweight contender Henry Cejudo returns to action against No. 8 ranked Song Yadong.

A 2008 Olympic gold medalist in freestyle wrestling for the United States, Cejudo (16-4, fighting out of Phoenix, Ariz.) steps back into the Octagon aiming to remind everyone of the skills that saw him become just the fourth fighter in UFC history to hold two titles simultaneously.

Considered to be among the greatest combat sports athletes of all time, Cejudo holds notable wins over TJ Dillashaw, Demetrious Johnson and Marlon Moraes. He now looks to take out Song in dominant fashion.

Song (21-8-1 1NC, fighting out of Heilongjiang, China) plans to make a statement in his fourth UFC main event and insert himself into the title conversation.

Still only 27 years old, he has already cemented himself as one of the top talents in the bantamweight division with wins over Chris Gutierrez, Ricky Sumon and Marlon Moraes. Song now seeks to secure the biggest victory of his career with a standout performance.

In the co-main event, No. 9 ranked bantamweight contender Rob Font takes on fellow veteran and former UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz.

The always exciting Font (21-8, fighting out of Woburn, Mass.) intends to start his 2025 campaign by adding another former champion to his resume.

A well-rounded athlete, he holds the second most knockouts in UFC bantamweight history with six, including those over Adrian Yanez, Thomas Almeida and Matt Schnell. He now has his sights set on defending his spot in the rankings and starting another run towards the Top 5.

Cruz (24-4, fighting out of San Diego, Calif.) returns to action for the first time in almost three years. One of the best bantamweights in MMA history, Cruz holds iconic victories over some of the most notable names in the UFC, including Urijah Faber, T.J. Dillashaw and Demetrious Johnson. He now is focused on delivering a vintage performance in his 19th appearance under the Zuffa banner.

Additional bouts on the UFC Seattle card include:

• No. 15 ranked featherweight contender Edson Barboza (24-12, fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) battles fellow striker Steve Garcia (17-5, fighting out of Albuquerque, N.M.) in a bout guaranteed to produce fireworks.
• No. 5 ranked UFC heavyweight contender Curtis Blaydes (18-5 1NC, fighting out of Chicago, Ill.) intends to make a statement against UFC debutant Rizvan Kuniev (13-2-1 1NC, fighting out of Dagestan, Russia).

• Top middleweight contenders collide as No. 9 ranked Brendan Allen (24-6, fighting out of Milwaukee, Wisc.) faces No. 13 Anthony Hernandez (13-2 1NC, fighting out of Sacramento, Calif.).
