Henry Cejudo to defend RAF title against Song Yadong in wrestling rematch

Henry Cejudo Song Yadong Real American Freestyle freestyle wrestling RAF 15

Former UFC two-division champion Henry Cejudo is set to defend his Real American Freestyle (RAF) lightweight crossover championship against Song Yadong. The rematch will take place on November 28 at the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, near Chicago.

The matchup serves as a rematch of their February 2025 UFC Fight Night encounter, which Song won via unanimous technical decision after an accidental eye poke prevented Cejudo from continuing. Unlike their previous MMA bout, this contest will be contested under freestyle wrestling rules.

Cejudo, an Olympic wrestling champion, enters the event as the reigning RAF lightweight crossover titleholder. Song Yadong, a bantamweight fighter in the UFC, will make his debut in the RAF promotion. The event, RAF 15, will be streamed on Fox Nation and features a card including MMA veterans Donald Cerrone and Anthony Pettis.
