UFC Fight Night 252 takes place on Friday, February 23, 2025, at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. The main event features a high-stakes bantamweight showdown between former two-division champion Henry Cejudo and rising star Song Yadong.

Despite multiple fighter withdrawals leading up to the event, UFC Seattle remains packed with exciting matchups. Below are live results and key highlights from the event.

Main Event: Cejudo vs. Song

Cejudo enters this fight on a two-fight losing streak after defeats to Aljamain Sterling and Merab Dvalishvili. A loss here could push him further away from title contention. Meanwhile, Song is looking to bounce back after his defeat to Petr Yan at UFC 299. He started strong in that fight but lost momentum in the later rounds.

Three Must-Watch Fights

Jean Silva vs. Melsik Baghdasaryan

This featherweight clash promises fireworks as two dynamic strikers go head-to-head. Jean Silva enters on an 11-fight win streak, with most of his victories coming via knockout. Melsik Baghdasaryan, known for his elite kickboxing, has finished five of his eight career wins via KO. Expect a high-paced stand-up battle with potential for an explosive finish.

Alonzo Menifield vs. Julius Walker

A classic veteran vs. newcomer matchup in the light heavyweight division. Alonzo Menifield, a power puncher with a history of quick knockouts, faces undefeated UFC debutant Julius Walker. Walker brings a well-rounded skill set and an unblemished record, but Menifield’s experience and knockout power could be the difference-maker.

Ricky Simón vs. Javid Basharat

This bantamweight contest is a clash of styles. Ricky Simón is known for his relentless wrestling and high pace, while Javid Basharat is a well-rounded technician with a perfect record. With both fighters vying for a spot in the top 10, this fight could have major implications in the division.
