Lone'er Kavanagh pulled off a surprising upset victory over Brandon Moreno in the UFC Mexico City main event, outpointing the fan favorite over five rounds. Kavanagh, a 26-year-old British fighter, stepped in as a replacement after Asu Almabayev had to withdraw due to political turmoil concerns in Mexico. Despite not dominating the bout, Kavanagh showed clear signs of improvement and earned his place in the top 10. The victory comes after his loss to Charles Johnson last August, where he appeared to gas out late in the second round. Kavanagh is now expected to face Almabayev in his next fight.
