Cejudo to fight Moraes for vacant bantamweight title

UFC flyweight champion Henry Cejudo will jump up to 135 pounds to face Marlon Moraes for the vacant bantamweight title on June 8 in Chicago, the UFC announced Wednesday.

T.J. Dillashaw relinquished the title last week after an adverse finding appeared in a drug test connected to his January loss to Cejudo, who was making his first title defense after ending the record title reign of Demetrious Johnson.

If Cejudo is victorious, he'll become just the fourth UFC fighter to simultaneously hold belts in two weight classes following Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier, and Amanda Nunes.

However, he'll face a significant test in the red-hot Moraes. The Brazilian No. 1 contender is coming off four straight wins, taking out the likes of Raphael Assuncao and Aljamain Sterling to earn a shot at the title.
