Quick read
Lone'er Kavanagh has stepped in on short notice to headline UFC Fight Night against former champion Brandon Moreno in Mexico City on February 28, 2026, at Arena CDMX. Kavanagh, who was prepping for Bruno Silva in March, replaced injured Asu Almabayev, marking a major opportunity for the 9-1 rising flyweight contender. Moreno seeks to rebound from a recent loss to Tatsuro Taira toward another title run against champion Joshua Van. This five-round bout carries huge flyweight title implications for late 2026. A Kavanagh win could shake up the division rankings significantly. Expect high-paced striking exchanges with Moreno's grappling experience tested.
