Bantamweight contender Marlon Moraes had a great first five minutes in his title fight against the now ‘double champ’ Henry Cejudo at UFC 238, in Chicago, Illinois.
In the first round of the main event, ‘Magic’ managed to keep his opponent at a safe distance, and was picking Cejudo apart with precise striking—shutting down the Olympic wrestler’s chances of even going for the takedown. However, things drastically changed for the Brazilian in the following rounds. And ended up leading to a third round TKO win for the ‘Messenger’ after an exhausted Moraes could no longer defend himself intelligently.
