UFC 238: Cejudo vs. Moraes is set for Saturday night in Chicago with a fight card that is tipping over at the top end. There are two title fights and a pivotal lightweight contenders bout that will help set the course for the remainder of the year in the division.

UFC flyweight champion Henry Cejudo and bantamweight contender Marlon Moraes headline the UFC 238 fight card in a battle for the bantamweight championship that was recently vacated by TJ Dillashaw, who is currently under suspension for an anti-doping policy violation.

A second title fight fills the UFC 238 co-main event slot, as women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko puts her belt on the line for the first time. She squares off with Jessica Eye, who is undefeated since returning to the 125-pound weight class three fights ago.

The bout that has generated the lion’s share of interest is the lightweight contenders bout between former interim champion Tony Ferguson and Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. Their bout should determine the next lightweight challenger, as champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and interim titleholder Dustin Poirier unify their titles at UFC 242 on Sept. 7 in Abu Dhabi.

With the UFC recently inking a deal with a Canadian CBD company, Jessica Eye says that she has long been an advocate for marijuana and CBD.

Eye has a very personal reason for standing by the beneficial effects of marijuana and CBD, as her father died of brain cancer, which she believes is something that marijuana and CBD has been shown to help.

Eye fully admits to having used CBD before all of her recent bouts and wants to help change the negative image that is often attached to the use of marijuana and CBD.
