Henry Cejudo, still claiming the nickname “King of Cringe,” continued to live up to his moniker in the lead-up to his final fight against Song Yadong at UFC Seattle. During the ceremonial weigh-ins on Friday, Cejudo engaged in cringeworthy trash talk, including wearing a gold chain with a UFC trading card pendant and breaking open a fortune cookie to prophesize Song’s Round 4 TKO.
Despite Cejudo’s antics, Song remained unfazed, smiling at him during their final face-off before issuing a statement of his own. “Henry is a good fighter,” Song said. “He’s a legend. But I will make sure he retires on Saturday night.”
Cejudo acknowledged that the end may be near for him, but denies it being this weekend. “100 percent, this is my last run,” he said. “I’m just surprised that Song can speak English.” Cejudo also expressed his congratulations to Song, saying that his fortune has “run out” and that he will “bend the knee” on Saturday night.
The upcoming fight marks a significant point in Cejudo’s career, as he faces a two-fight losing streak. The former two-division champion is looking to end his career on a high note, but it remains to be seen if Song can deliver the knockout blow.
