Lone'er Kavanagh aims to re-enter top five with 'spectacular' UFC 333 win
Lone'er Kavanagh knows he can reclaim his spot as a top contender at UFC 333.
Abu Dhabi – Lone er Kavanagh is eager to reclaim his spot among the top contenders at UFC 333. The 10-2 MMA fighter with 3-2 UFC record takes on rising flyweight Ramazan Temirov (20-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) on the main card of Saturday's event at Etihad Arena. Kavanagh's performance in his previous fight, defeating former UFC champion Brandon Moreno, brought him to the forefront of the flyweight division.
However, a loss by submission to Brandon Royval in a Fight of the Night bout at UFC 329 may have temporarily set him back. Kavanagh expressed optimism about his upcoming bout, stating that he feels it will propel him back into the top five. He considers Temirov, who has 13 first-round finishes on his résumé, including a recent TKO of Steve Erceg, a respectable opponent.
Kavanagh believes beating Temirov in spectacular fashion would secure his position back at the top. Temirov has shown impressive skills with his 13 first-round finishes, most recently in July, where he outperformed former title challenger Steve Erceg. Kavanagh acknowledges Temirov's impressive performance and the challenges he presents.
He admires Temirov's powerful punches and his aggressive fighting style, which includes coming forward and throwing big shots.
