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 co-main event, flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko (16-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) and challenger Jessica Eye (14-6 MMA, 4-5 UFC) were cool and collected during their faceoff, with no words exchanged. It was afterward, while answering a question from Joe Rogan, that Eye had something to say.
“It means everything to fight for the title, man,” Eye said. “I’ve been the underdog my entire life. I was the underdog when I went to make weight this morning. You guys thought I wasn’t gonna make weight for this? C’mon, I’ve been waiting way too long.
“I’ll show you Cleveland tough.”
