Brandon Moreno vs Lone’er Kavanagh Odds

FighterOdds to Win
Brandon Moreno-210
Lone’er Kavanagh+175

Brandon Moreno (-210): The former UFC flyweight champion enters as a clear favorite, reflecting his extensive experience at the highest level of the division. Currently ranked No. 6 in the flyweight rankings, Moreno boasts a 23-9-2 professional record and has shared the Octagon with elite competition, including four bouts against Deiveson Figueiredo and a title fight against Alexandre Pantoja. His familiarity with the Arena CDMX — where he earned a unanimous decision over Steve Erceg in March 2025 — further bolsters his standing as the expected winner on Saturday night.

Lone’er Kavanagh (+175): The 26-year-old Englishman carries underdog value into Mexico City with a 9-1 record, representing a significant step up in competition. Kavanagh has shown promise with a first-round KO/TKO on the Dana White Contender Series and back-to-back unanimous decision wins over Jose Ochoa and Felipe Dos Santos. However, his lone professional loss — a second-round TKO to Charles Johnson in August 2025 — raises questions about how he handles adversity against top-tier opposition. The +175 line reflects both the risk of facing a proven veteran in hostile territory and the reward of backing a dangerous young prospect capable of pulling off an upset.
