From the infamous Jon Jones disqualification against Matt Hamill to Anderson Silva&rsquo;s leg break against Chris Weidman. Now, Henry Cejudo&rsquo;s main event battle against Song Yadong at UFC Fight Night: Cejudo vs. Song joins this list of memorable but unfortunate endings.<\/p><p>Cejudo, the former two-division champion and Olympic gold medalist, has always been known for his toughness and resilience. But the kind of injury he endured during UFC Fight Night: Cejudo vs. Song in Seattle was something else.<\/p><p>The fight was heating up in the third round when everything changed with an accidental eye poke. Referee Jason Herzog gave Cejudo the full five minutes to recover, and in true Olympic champion fashion, he tried to continue. But between rounds, Cejudo made it clear to his corner with some colorful language that he couldn&rsquo;t see properly. The fight ended there, with Song winning by technical decision.<\/p><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/ufc-fight-night-cejudo-vs-song-results-who-won-the-ufc-fights-last-night\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>UFC Fight Night: Cejudo vs. Song Results: Who Won The UFC Fights Last Night?<\/a><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Medical Reality<\/h2><p>Some fans started questioning Cejudo&rsquo;s toughness. However, &lsquo;Triple C&rsquo; didn&rsquo;t waste time proving his critics wrong. He posted photos of his injured eye on social media, revealing three serious conditions: <strong>Diplopia<\/strong> (fancy doctor talk for double vision), soft tissue damage, and a corneal abrasion.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Diplopia, Soft Tissue Damage, Corneal Abrasion.<br><br>&ldquo;hE wANteD a wAy OuT&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFCSeattle?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#UFCSeattle<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SYG48fmb3M\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/SYG48fmb3M<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Henry Cejudo (@HenryCejudo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HenryCejudo\/status\/1893639025594093923?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>February 23, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>For those wondering what that means in plain English, this means that his eye was basically a mess.

Both fighters had agreed verbally for a rematch. However, it seems that the UFC brass isn&rsquo;t liking it. It&rsquo;s a tough break for both fighters.

I was instantly hooked on MMA after watching the fight between Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi back in 2014, and since then, i have been an avid writer with a deep love for the sport and its techniques, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the sport. My favorite aspect of working at The Playoffs is the creative freedom it provides. The diverse range of topics, from listicles and SEO to news articles, keeps me engaged and motivates me to continuously improve my skills! I aim to capture the excitement of the combat sports world in my writing, acting as the middleman between fighters and their die-hard fans. It is kind of like a referee, but with words!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/zaid-quraishi-884927240?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/zaid\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22876"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22876"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22876\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23020,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22876\/revisions\/23020"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22876"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22876"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
