UFC Mexico City Results: Lone’er Kavanagh defeats Brandon Moreno (Highlights)

We have you covered for all of tonight’s UFC Mexico City results, including the flyweight main event between Brandon Moreno and Lone’er Kavanagh.

Moreno (23-10-2 MMA) will enter this evening’s main event looking to rebound, this after suffering a TKO loss to Tatsuro Taira in his most recent Octagon appearance at December’s UFC 323 event in Las Vegas (see that here). Prior to that setback, the former flyweight champion was coming off back-to-back wins over Amir Albazi and Steve Erceg.

Meanwhile, Lone’er Kavanagh (10-1 MMA) was last seen in action last August in Shanghai, where he suffered his first career loss at the hands of Charles Johnson. Prior to being KO’d by ‘InnerG’, the English fighter had gone a perfect 9-0 which included two wins, both by decision, under the UFC banner.

Lone’er Kavanagh continues to stay composed and pick his shots. ‘The Assassin Baby’ shoots in and presses the young prospect against the cage.

A nice kick to the body from Kavanagh. Brandon Moreno with a left but eats another hard low kick in the process. 30-seconds remain in the round.

The fifth and final round of the UFC Mexico City main event begins and this could come down to the final five minutes. Kavanagh’s corner believes he’s up 4-0, but I’m not sure about that. The last two rounds were close. A nice jab from the English fighter. Moreno is wearing it now. The former champ attempts a takedown. Once again Kavanagh stuffs the shot. Moreno attempts another shot. Still, he can’t get it. Fight ends and we go to the scorecards.
