10 Flyweight Prospects the UFC Should Sign in 2023

Lone’er Kavanagh

23 | 5’4″ | London, England | 4-0 | 3 Finishes | 2 KO/TKOs, 1 Submission | Combined Opponents’ Record: 8-10 | Best Win – Ander Sanchez (1-0)

Kavanagh trains under his head coach, former UFC fighter and U.K. MMA legend Brad Pickett at Great Britain Top Team. Kavanagh had a shaky amateur career with a 2-2-2, 1 NC record. However, now fighting as a pro, Kavanagh is sitting at a perfect record. With each fight, he’s night and day better. He started with Korean-style martial arts and then had an extensive kickboxing career. He competed in K-1 and is a five-time world champion.

Kavanagh is a flashy fighter and he doesn’t telegraph his strikes at all. Kavanagh is a true flyweight prospect that brings speed, athleticism, explosiveness, and a recurrent rapid pace. Still young in his career his ceiling is incredibly high and he will hopefully sign with the UFC after at least two more fights
