Lone'er Kavanagh

China

Remains perfect in UFC
FlyweightUFC
March 22, 2025
Kavanagh defeated Felipe dos Santos via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
Through two UFC appearances, it's quite clear that Kavanagh's grappling is way ahead of his striking. He didn't attempt a single takedown in Round 1 and dropped the frame on all three scorecards. Seeking to flip the script, Kavanagh landed two takedowns in each of the final two rounds, good for 5:54 worth of control time. That, combined with the fact that dos Santos was once again exhausted, ensured Lone'er would walk out with the decision. The ceiling here is quite high, but expect some struggles along the way.

Kavanagh is scheduled to compete against Felipe dos Santos in a flyweight fight at UFC London on March 22, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
UFC London is scheduled to be the event for Kavanagh's first 2025 fight. In 2024, he got the ball rolling late with a debut win over Jose Ochoa in Macau. Meanwhile, Kavanagh's opponent is coming off a decision loss to Andre Lima back in September.
Takes decision in UFC debut

November 23, 2024
Kavanagh defeated Jose Ochoa via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Macau, China.
ANALYSIS
It would have been nice to see a more emphatic victory from Kavanagh as a -350 favorite in his UFC debut, but flyweight fights are almost always competitive and this one was no exception. The two matched each other blow-for-blow, with the main difference being the fact Kavanagh landed a handful of more notable shots. A very highly-regarded prospect and still just 25 years of age, Kavanagh is a fighter to keep an eye on moving forward in a 125-pound division which lacks depth up top.
Taking on fellow undefeated prospect

September 26, 2024
Kavanagh will take on Jose Ochoa in a flyweight matchup at UFC Macau on November 23, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Kavanagh will take on a fellow debutante in Ochoa, a 23-year-old, undefeated prospect who most recently competed under the banner of LFA. Kavanagh also has an undefeated record to put on the line, as he recently picked up a first-round stoppage on Contender Series to earn his UFC contract and had been racking up wins with Cage Warriors prior to that.
Walk-off KO earns contract

August 15, 2024
Kavanagh defeated An Tuan Ho via KO (punch) at 2:35 of Round 1 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of four fighters to earn an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
The latest season of Contender Series started out with a bang, as Kavanagh only needed 12 significant strikes to find the finishing blow in the first round. He attacked early with leg kicks and evaded return fire before finding his mark for a no-doubt knockout. The 25-year-old Kavanagh will enter a thin flyweight division with an undefeated professional record of 7-0-0, with his four previous wins coming under the banner of Cage Warriors.
