65% · Decision
- Song's +0.53 striking differential vs Cejudo's +0.48
- Song's 3" reach advantage and superior height will control distance
- Cejudo's declining takedown accuracy (32%) vs Song's 72% TDD
- Age gap of 10 years and Song's superior recent activity
Write-up
Song's superior striking volume (4.49 vs 3.77 SLPM) and youth advantage should be decisive against a declining Cejudo. Song's 72% takedown defense can neutralize Cejudo's wrestling, while his reach advantage and more active striking pace will accumulate damage over 5 rounds.
