With two title fights and a “people’s main event” at the top of the card, there was no shortage of highly anticipated fights at UFC 238.
But there were some bangers on the prelims, as well, at an event that on paper was being considered the most stacked UFC show of 2019 so far.
In the main event, Henry Cejudo (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) made history by becoming a two-division champion with a third-round TKO of Marlon Moraes (22-6-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) to capture the vacant bantamweight title to go with his flyweight belt.
In the co-feature, Valentina Shevchenko (17-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) delivered an all-time highlight-reel head-kick knockout of Jessica Eye (14-7 MMA, 4-6 UFC) to retain her women’s flyweight title in her first defense.
And that aforementioned “people’s main event” between former interim lightweight champ Tony Ferguson (25-3 MMA, 15-1 UFC) and Donald Cerrone (36-12 MMA, 23-9 UFC) was 10 minutes of brilliance before doctors shut it down due to a broken orbital for “Cowboy,” giving Ferguson the TKO win.
Once again at UFC 238, which aired on pay-per-view from United Center in Chicago, the “Fight Motion” cameras captured all the action in glorious super slow motion. Check it out in the video above.
