Biggest Winner: Lone’er Kavanagh<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Kavanagh never expected to headline a UFC event in just his fourth fight with the promotion, but he found himself there after agreeing to be replaced. Asu Almabaev<\/strong> Against Moreno. And it turned out to be a good move, as the British brawler put up the best performance of his UFC career against his biggest test against division contender and former champion Moreno. Kavanagh was quicker to the punch all night, standing in the pocket and absorbing it when Moreno took a lick. In the end, he did just enough to earn a unanimous decision victory. It was a great bounce-back fight for Kavanagh, who was coming off a KO loss at the hands of Kavanagh. charles johnson<\/strong> \u2014 the first loss of his career \u2014 dates back to August 2025 (relive it here).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Runner-up: David Martinez<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n

In his third fight in the Octagon, Martinez picked up a big win over a former bantamweight title contender in Vera, snapping a 10-fight win streak with a majority win over "Cheeto.” Martinez got the win before Vera did. rob font<\/strong>; Therefore, it does not mean that the matchmaker is comfortable with him. Martinez is very likely to move into the top five with this win, which means the competition will only get more intense going forward. That’s right up his alley, as Martinez has shown that he’s not afraid of anything the matchmaker throws at him and is ready to compete against the best.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Biggest Loser: Marlon Vera<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Let’s take Moreno, who has lost two straight for the second time in his UFC career, or Zellhuber, who has lost three in a row. But we give \u201cChito\u201d that spot because, despite his bold pre-fight claims, he lost four straight after falling behind Martinez. In fact, Berra hasn’t won since that loss. Pedro Mu\u00f1oz <\/strong>A loss at UFC 292 in August 2023 would push him out of the top 10. It’s a huge downfall for this Ecuadorian. I know we’ll have to wait and see if his recent failures will result in his release or if UFC management will give him one more chance to turn things around.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
