UFC 238 took place inside the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Headlining the card was a bantamweight title clash between flyweight champion Henry Cejudo and Marlon Moraes. In the third round, Cejudo stopped Moraes via TKO. “The Messenger” now calls himself “Triple C” as he is now the flyweight and bantamweight champion. He also has a gold medal, in case you didn’t know.
The co-main event featured a women’s flyweight title bout. Women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko defended her gold against Jessica Eye. “Bullet” knocked Eye out cold with a head kick in the second round.
