“Personally, I like the fight — I like the fight stylistically, as well,” Cejudo said on his Pound-4-Pound podcast. “I think Song’s going to bring a lot of power, uses a lot of hands, but we also know that once you start doing some other things, he can be fading away just a little bit. I have a good gameplan set in place for a guy that is about 10 years younger than me. Song is a tough opponent but I like it. I can see myself stopping this dude. I really can.”
