Song Kenan Explains His UFC 305 Approach to Glenn’s Hematoma
Song Kenan said he chose not to deliberately target the large swelling that formed on Ricky Glenn’s head during their UFC 305 fight, calling that approach mean. Song still won the welterweight bout by unanimous decision, with the judges scoring it 30-27, 30-26 and 29-28.
A swelling that drew attention
Glenn developed a pronounced lump during the fight, and its size became a visible talking point as the bout continued. In his post-fight interview, Song said he was aware of it but did not want to make the swelling a deliberate target. He focused instead on landing his normal offense and credited Glenn for remaining in the contest.
The fight was not one-way from the opening bell. Glenn dropped Song with a left hand early, but Song settled into the striking exchanges and increasingly controlled the action. Song’s volume and accuracy helped him earn the decision and return to the win column, while Glenn suffered a third consecutive defeat.
Song’s explanation
Song’s comments framed his choice as a personal decision about how to approach the visible swelling, rather than a tactical claim that it changed the result. He praised Glenn’s toughness after the fight. The bout continued to the final bell, and the official result was a unanimous decision for Song.
