CHICAGO – For the final time before they throw down inside the octagon, the fighters on the UFC 238 card got face to face Friday.
All the athlete in the UFC’s return to “The Windy City” squared off ceremonial weigh-ins at United Center. The same venue hosts Saturday’s event, which has a main card on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+/UFC Fight Pass.
In the main event, the heat continued to build between flyweight champion Henry Cejudo (14-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) and Marlon Moraes (22-5-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) ahead of their clash for the vacant bantamweight title. The two men locked eyes on each other, but it was Cejudo – animated throughout fight week – who flexed hard during an intense staredown.
