The atmosphere in Seattle was tense on Saturday night, and perhaps the reason was a bit unclear. While some might point to the outcome of the main event as the catalyst, several altercations erupted among spectators at the UFC Seattle event at the Climate Pledge Arena.
The uproar began shortly after Song Yadong emerged victorious over former dual-division champion Henry Cejudo. The drama on stage was nothing compared to what unfolded in the audience, with fights breaking out among fans as the night wore on.
The match ended abruptly for Cejudo, who suffered an accidental eye poke that prevented him from continuing into the fourth round. Since the bout had already exceeded its halfway point, the judges had to rely on the scorecards to declare Yadong the winner, leaving many fans dissatisfied with the resolution.
“The Fight Bubble” shared a video capturing the chaos, noting that the fans began brawling after being disappointed by the event’s conclusion.
In a tweet posted by “The Fight Bubble,” they write, “The crowd started scrapping after being left unsatisfied by Henry Cejudo and Song Yadong at #UFCSeattle.”
A second video took it up a notch, showcasing a more intense brawl in the arena’s concourse area. The clip captured a moment where one fan even lost his shoes amidst the chaos, highlighting the night’s unpredictability.
This tweet, shared by “SEATTLESUBMISSIONS,” states, “Fight Erupts Among Fans as UFC Seattle Ends. One Fan Loses His Shoes! 💥👊,” painting a vivid picture of the evening’s tumultuous end.
