Lone’er Kavanagh

Overview

Lone'er Kavanagh's biggest UFC win came over Brandon Moreno, and it went the full five rounds. Four of his six UFC fights have gone the distance or past round 3, and the other two ended in finish losses. He's a London-born flyweight with GB Top Team, and he stands 4-2 in the UFC.

Only one of those four wins is a stoppage, but it's the most recent: a first-round TKO of Ramazan Temirov. He carries a one-fight win streak into his next fight, after a submission loss in between.

UFC Career

Kavanagh's route to the UFC ran through Dana White's Contender Series, where he stopped An Tuan Ho by TKO in the first round (2:25). That fight isn't part of his UFC record. His UFC debut came in November 2024, a unanimous decision over Jose Ochoa. Another unanimous decision over Felipe dos Santos followed in March 2025.

Charles Johnson ended that run, stopping him by TKO in round 2 at 4:35.

Then came the main event against Brandon Moreno, a five-round fight against an opponent our model rates as elite. Kavanagh won a unanimous decision. It remains the best result on his record.

He lost by submission to Brandon Royval in round 3 (3:40) in July 2026, then rebounded against Ramazan Temirov, a strong opponent by our model's tiers, with a TKO at 4:28 of round 1.

Two losses, both finishes. Four wins, one finish.

Fighting Style

Kavanagh is a busy, accurate striker who lands more than most fighters in the UFC. He takes damage at a typical rate, so his output comes without a big edge in avoiding it.

On the ground, he is very hard to take down, and he rarely shoots for takedowns or hunts for submissions himself. His submission loss shows he can still be caught when a fight does go to the mat, though that is one loss and a small sample.

Three of his four UFC wins have come on the scorecards. The one finish was a first-round TKO, so his stoppage wins are rare and came early.
