UFC 238 video recap: Henry Cejudo stops Marlon Moraes to win vacant UFC bantamweight title

Henry Cejudo became the third UFC fighter to hold two belts simultaneously, as he defeated Marlon Moraes by third round TKO to win the vacant UFC bantamweight title.

What was the high point of the fight?

Moraes came out in the first round extremely fast, owning the speed department by throwing lighting fast leg kicks and putting together quick combinations. Cejudo struggled to land anything notable until the end of round two, when he started landing big knees and right hands.

The comeback was now on for Cejudo at the start of round three, and once he secured a takedown the end started to look near for Moraes.
