Lone’er Kavanagh scores knockout and calls for UFC flyweight title fight
Lone’er Kavanagh knocked out Ramazan Temirov on the UFC 333 main card.
Kavanagh, an English fighter ranked sixth in the UFC flyweight division, said he wanted a title fight.
Joshua Van currently holds the flyweight belt, but his next defence is already scheduled.
Van is set to face Manel Kape at UFC 336 in January 2027.
That scheduled fight means Kavanagh will have to wait for a chance at the title.
He could first get a fight to decide the next title contender, though that has not been confirmed.
A title opportunity may come in mid to late 2027, depending on what happens in those fights.
