Henry Cejudo confronted referee Jason Herzog over the eye poke controversy in his loss to Song Yadong . Cejudo (16-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) lost a  technical decision to Song (22-8-1 MMA, 11-3-1 UFC) in the UFC Fight Night 252 main event at Climate Pledge Arena. Cejudo was poked in the eye towards the end of Round 3, but chose to finish off the round after taking the full five minutes to try and recover. However, by the end of Round 3, Cejudo said he couldn’t see, and the fight went to the judges’ scorecards where Song was awarded the win. Cejudo FaceTimed Herzog to discuss his discontent with the way he handled the situation. “When I got poked, Jason, one, you didn’t take a point,” Cejudo said on his YouTube channel
