Former UFC star Henry Cejudo wants to throw down with Song Yadong once again – but not in mixed martial arts.
Last February, Henry Cejudo lost to Song Yadong via technical decision following an accidental eye poke. While he’s gone on to enjoy a strong run with RAF, including a win over Merab Dvalishvili, the Song loss has still left a bad taste in his mouth.

Song is coming off the back of a career-defining win over Umar Nurmagomedov, whereas Henry Cejudo still wants to focus his attention on the world of wrestling for the time being.
In fact, in a recent interview, Henry Cejudo issued a pretty passionate callout.
Henry Cejudo calls for Yadong rematch
“I’d love to wrestle Song Yadong next,” Cejudo told MMA Junkie. “I know he’s got desire to wrestle in Real American Freestyle, and I would love to welcome him into Real American Freestyle. Let’s put the belt on the line. Let’s do it in Miami, why not? He’s got a couple of weeks. He came (away) unscathed; he did beat Umar Nurmagomedov in the fashion that he did. He has been working with elite wrestlers in Valentine, but man, I would love to put his ass out.
“So, Song Yadong, I got a message for you – I got a message for you, coward: My eye is permanently damaged forever. You got two weeks to get your ass ready for Real American Freestyle in Miami. I’m making it public right now. Talk is cheap. You say you want to wrestle; you say you want to compete? I am willing to compete against you in Miami and then Boston the next damn week. Answer the call and sign the damn contract.”
