Quick read
Lone'er Kavanagh pulled off one of the year's biggest upsets, defeating two-time former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno in the main event of UFC Mexico City on Saturday, February 28, 2026. The 26-year-old English fighter, who was only added to the card on short notice after Asu Almabayev's injury, came off a previous loss to face the division's most decorated fighter in enemy territory. Kavanagh executed a smart game plan, chipping away at Moreno's legs and beating him to the punch on the feet throughout the bout. His performance earned him a $100,000 Performance of the Night bonus, cementing what many are calling an Upset of the Year candidate.
