"No, definitely not. I'm here for legendary moments, and I feel like this is a legendary moment. I live for these moments. This is stuff I get to do, so I'm excited. A hostile Mexico crowd doesn't intimidate him either, as he embraces the opportunity to compete in a country known for its passionate fighting culture."
"It's taught me a lot, you know? Not taking away from Charles Johnson, but I made a few mistakes. Me and my team, we took it back. We learned from it, and we're going to continue to learn from it. This perspective demonstrates Kavanagh's growth mindset following his recent setback."
"Yeah, everything feels good. I feel like I've adjusted well. I'm excited to get it going. Mexico is the home of fighting. The fighting culture is so big here. Kavanagh expressed confidence in his physical preparation and deep appreciation for Mexico's combat sports heritage."
Lone'er Kavanagh stepped in on short notice to face Brandon Moreno in the UFC Mexico City main event after Asu Almabayev withdrew. Despite being a hot prospect coming off a recent loss to Charles Johnson, Kavanagh eagerly accepted the high-profile opportunity. He expressed enthusiasm about fighting in Mexico, calling it the "home of fighting" and praising the country's fighting culture. Kavanagh acclimated well to the altitude during his week in Mexico City and felt prepared for the bout. He acknowledged his previous loss taught valuable lessons and that he and his team addressed the mistakes made during that fight, viewing the setback as a learning experience for continued growth.
