UFC 238 Results: Doctors stop big fight due to nasty injury, major controversy over illegal punch

#5. Henry Cejudo (14-2-0) vs. Marlon Moraes (22-5-1) (Bantamweight Championship)

Cejudo vs. Moraes

The man with an Olympic gold medal and two UFC belts took on a highly-rated Brazilian with a 4-fight win streak. The main event title fight was a great match-up on paper and it seemed like a stern test for a polarizing figure in Cejudo.

Moraes kicked off the fight in his favour as he controlled the first round by keeping a distance using leg kicks. Cejudo got his range in the second round and answered with variations of leg kicks. Cejudo hurt Moraes with some big knees in the middle of the round and did enough to outscore his opponent.

Cejudo pushed forward in the third round and kept up his volume of strikes. Cejudo wrapped Moraes up near the fence after two minutes. Moraes gave up the half guard position and it was all downhill from there onwards as Cejudo unleashed some elbows and hammer fists until the referee stepped in to stop the fight.

Result: Henry Cejudo def. Marlon Moraes via TKO (elbows and punches) (4:51, Round 2)

The win extends The Messenger's streak to five victories on the trot. A clinical performance from a man who is cementing himself as one of the greatest combat sports athletes of this generation.
