Check out what’s on tap for UFC 238, set for June 8th in Chicago, Illinois.
On June 8th at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, the Octagon touches down for UFC 238. There are two title fights topping the card, as flyweight king Henry Cejudo moves up to bantamweight to take on Marlon Moraes for the vacant belt. In the co-main event, women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko is putting her belt on the line against Jessica Eye.
The next biggest bout currently lined up for this show is a #1 contender showdown between top strawweights Tatiana Suarez and Nina Ansaroff. You would think the winner will face the Rose Namajunas vs. Jessica Andrade winner, but Michelle Waterson is also very much in the running for next title shot. There also seems to be a contingency plan for Shevchenko-Eye, as Katlyn Chookagian will take on Joanne Calderwood.
The card is halfway booked (or roughly halfway), and here is what is booked thus far:
Henry Cejudo vs. Marlon Moraes
Valentina Shevchenko vs. Jessica Eye
Tatiana Suarez vs. Nina Ansaroff
Tai Tuivasa vs. Blagoy Ivanov
Felice Herrig vs. Xiaonan Yan
Katlyn Chookagian vs. Joanne Calderwood
