Henry Cejudo is the new double champion on the block. After a difficult first round where ‘The Messenger’ was dominated by Marlon Moraes in the striking department, Cejudo adapted his strategy and took over the fight in the following minutes, finishing his opponent with ground-and-pound late into the third round of their bout at UFC 238. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the fight.
Feeling Moraes in this one

Picking Marlon for this one just because it's his weight. He has more experience here, more experience carrying the weight, punching at the weight, getting hit at it, the pacing... That being said Cejudo might decide to wrestle and make me look stupid #UFC238
