UFC Seattle: Cejudo vs Song Betting Handles
The public is fading Cejudo; that's been clear from the moment this line opened. Cejudo is now 38 years old, a bad omen at bantamweight, and faces an explosive, hungry opponent in Song. 62% of the handle is on Song, moving his odds from -250 to -275.

UFC Seattle: Most Bet Props (Tickets)
- Nick Klein (USA) by Submission +1400
- Eric McConico (USA) by Decision/Technical Decision +550
- Song Yadong (CHN) by Decision/Technical Decision +125
- Melsik Baghdasaryan (ARM) by KO/TKO or DQ +1100
- Jean Silva (BRA) by KO/TKO or DQ -120
I can't speak to the public's endorsement of Nick Klein or Eric McConico, but Song by decision and Silva by KO seem like straightforward plays to me. We know how aggressive Silva is, and the Brazilian is not satisfied until he has bullied his opponent. Personally, I'm not certain Song wins by decision, but I envision this fight going into Rounds 4 and 5, so I understand the rationale.
