Henry Cejudo promised that he would claim the title of ‘greatest combat sports athlete in history’ if he could add another gold belt to his collection with a win over Marlon Moraes at UFC 238.
He accomplished that goal with a third-round TKO to claim the UFC bantamweight title, capping off an action-packed night of fights from Chicago.
Meanwhile in the co-main event, Valentina Shevchenko defended her throne as the reigning UFC women’s flyweight champion with one of the scariest knockouts in recent history when she nearly decapitated Jessica Eye with a head kick in the second round.
