Seattle fans were unimpressed with the way Henry Cejudo vs. Song Yadong ended, so they held their own fights in the arena following the event.
UFC Seattle was a great night of fights marred by a bummer of a main event, but fans at the Climate Pledge Arena held their own impromptu post-fight scrap in the halls following the end of the event.
In the headline fight of the night, former double champ Henry Cejudo was poked in both eyes by Song Yadong and took the full five minutes to try and recover before the fight was sent to the scorecards, earning Song a technical decision win. You’d think that five would have left fans cooled off and ready to head home in peace. You’d think wrong!
Immediately after the end of the show, fans started throwing down in the floor seats.

Footage coming out of Seattle also showed two fans going at it in the concourse of the arena. At first it looks like the fight is about to be separated before it can even start, but then one random fan pulls a brawler’s legs out from under him and another shoves him into his opponent, who hits him with an emo mosh pit kick to the midsection.

A second video clip has the kicker dodging a random punch from another fan before a third clip has him scrapping with his original opponent, who now has both feet under him and is firing off long looping hooks.
“Someone’s gonna get hurt!” one random do-gooder yells repeatedly in the background. Everyone is too busy doing the Ric Flair ‘woo’ to listen.
Nowhere to be seen on the concourse? Climate Pledge Arena security. Keep your hands up out there, Maniacs.
