The vacant bantamweight championship will be contested for at UFC 238.

As expected, UFC flyweight champion Henry Cejudo will face No. 1-ranked 135-pounder Marlon Moraes. The fight takes place at UFC 238 on pay-per-view (PPV). UFC 238 goes down from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois on June 8, 2019. The promotion made the news official on Instagram today (Wed. March 27, 2019):

Cejudo is currently on a four-fight win streak. “The Messenger” became the first man to defeat Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson at 125 pounds back in August, scoring a split decision victory and the 125-pound throne. Cejudo followed that up with a first-round TKO win over then-bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw in his first career title defense.

The pair were expected to rematch with Dillashaw’s title on the line this time, however, due to “The Viper” failing a United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) drug test, he vacated the strap. Enter Moraes. The Brazilian knockout artist is on a four-fight win streak at the moment.

His latter three victories have all been first round finishes. He has proven to be one of the more exciting fighters at 135 pounds. It will be interesting to see how me matches up with Cejudo with the championship on the line.

After the UFC announced it’s upcoming return to Chicago, Illinois, a few women’s bouts have been added to the card.

One that stands out immediately is the return of top 115-pound prospect Tatina Suarez. The cancer survivor and former Olympic-hopeful is undefeated in her mixed martial arts (MMA) career thus far. In her last outing, she dominated former UFC women’s strawweight champion Carla Esparza with a third round TKO victory.

Now, according to a report from The Chicago Tribune, she’ll face Nina Ansaroff at the UFC 238 pay-per-view (PPV) from “The Windy City”. Ansaroff is surging at the moment with a four-fight win streak. She defeated former title challenger Claudia Gadelha via unanimous decision in her last contest at UFC 231 in December.

The winner of this bout could very well be next in line to challenge for the strap. Also, the report includes that a flyweight bout between Katlyn Chookagian and Joanne Calderwood will take place on the card. Chookagian had a three-fight win streak snapped by Jessica Eye in December. However, Calderwood is going strong off back-to-back victories.

Her latest being a unanimous decision win over Ariane Lipski at UFC on ESPN+ 1 this past January. In a very young and thin women’s flyweight division, every victory is crucial in hopes of securing a title opportunity. UFC 238 goes down live from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois on Saturday, June 8, 2019.
