Henry Cejudo is a two-division UFC champion. At UFC 238 on Saturday, June 8, Cejudo overcame some early adversity to TKO Marlon Moraes in the third round of their main event bout in Chicago, Illinois.
With the win, Cejudo becomes just the fourth fighter in UFC history to simultaneously hold championships in two divisions.
He had previously become the first Olympic gold medalist to win a UFC title.
Cejudo was getting worked by Moraes in the opening round of the fight and appeared to be on the verge of losing the fight. However, between rounds, made an incredible adjustment to dominate Round 2 before he was able to TKO Moraes in impressive fashion.
