UFC Fight Night Predictions -- Brandon Moreno vs. Lone'er Kavanagh: Fight Card, Picks

Lone'er Kavanagh accepted the fight three weeks out against two-time flyweight champ Brandon Moreno, with a win potentially setting up a title eliminator, UFC officials said.

  • On Saturday, Brandon Moreno headlines UFC Fight Night at Arena CDMX in Mexico City with a 13-fight card.
  • After Asu Almabayev withdrew with an injury, unranked Lone'er Kavanagh accepted the short-notice assignment roughly three weeks out.
  • DraftKings lists Moreno at-218 and Kavanagh at +180, and Kavanagh faces his first UFC main event and five‑round fight; `I want to look back on my life and see that I've done some cool stuff`, Kavanagh said.
  • Moreno faces notable career stakes, as a win may not produce an immediate title shot but could set up a title eliminator while Marlon 'Chito' Vera seeks to end a three-fight skid against David Martinez.
  • Amid reports of violence in parts of Mexico, Moreno's homecoming arrives as Saturday's main card features Mexican fighters, offering local fans a brief respite after Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes' death.
