"Savage leg kicks, a sharp jab and bulletproof takedown defense carried the Great Britain Top Team prospect to a unanimous decision over two-time champion Brandon Moreno in the UFC Fight Night 268 main event on Saturday at CDMX Arena in Mexico City. Scores were 49-46, 48-47 and 48-47-all for Kavanagh (10-1, 3-1 UFC), who filled in for Asu Almabayev on late notice."
"Kavanagh chewed up his lower lead leg with repeated kicks, pumped out his jab and zeroed in on the body with a few kicks. He had Moreno reeling with punches at one point in the second round. The Fortis MMA mainstay turned to the clinch in the third and fourth rounds, as he bottled up Kavanagh along the fence, fed him knees to the inner thigh, bled time off the clock and shifted momentum."
"Kavanagh capitalized in the exchanges and made a stronger closing argument, as he delivered a front kick to the body, tripled up on his jab and landed a spinning back kick to the midsection in the waning moments."
Lone'er Kavanagh earned a unanimous decision victory over Brandon Moreno in the UFC Fight Night 268 main event in Mexico City, with all three judges scoring 49-46 or 48-47 in Kavanagh's favor. Fighting on late notice, Kavanagh dominated the striking exchanges with savage leg kicks, sharp jabs, and effective body kicks that had Moreno reeling in the second round. Moreno attempted to shift momentum in the middle rounds by clinching and controlling Kavanagh along the fence, but failed to maintain sufficient offensive output. Kavanagh capitalized in the final round with a front kick to the body, multiple jabs, and a spinning back kick to secure the victory. In the co-main event, David Martinez defeated Marlon Vera via unanimous decision with matching 29-28 scorecards, using lateral movement and quick hands to frustrate his opponent.
