Sixth-ranked Brandon Moreno battles 15th-ranked Lone’er Kavanagh in a UFC flyweight bout in the main event at UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Kavanagh on Saturday at Arena CDMX in Mexico City. The preliminaries are set to begin at around 5 p.m. ET, with the main card at approximately 8 p.m. ET on Paramount+, which you can\u00a0sign up for right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moreno is coming off a loss by TKO to Tatsuro Taira at UFC 323 on Dec. 6, 2025. Kavanagh, meanwhile, suffered a knockout loss to Charles Johnson in the second round of their bout at UFC Fight Night: Walker vs. Zhang on Aug. 23, 2025.<\/p>\n

Moreno is a -245 favorite (risk $245 to win $100), while Kavanagh comes back at +186 in the latest MMA odds for UFC Fight Night at FanDuel Sportsbook. The co-main event features a bantamweight bout between ninth-ranked Marlon Vera (+220) vs. 10-ranked David Martinez (-295).\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before locking in any UFC Fight Night picks, you NEED to see the latest MMA predictions from SportsLine MMA analyst Kyle Marley.<\/p>\n

Over the past three-plus years, $100 bettors who have followed Marley’s picks are up nearly $10,000, and since May 2018, he has returned more than $21,000!<\/p>\n

The accomplished MMA analyst has provided consistent winners for SportsLine members for the past five years. His accomplishments include hitting five consecutive main-event underdog winners in 2020 following the UFC’s brief pause in action because of the pandemic. He also finished 9-5 on his picks on the Feb. 21 UFC card. Anyone who has followed Marley could be way up.<\/p>\n

One of Marley’s top UFC Fight Night picks: He is backing Ernesta Kareckaite to win via unanimous decision over Sofia Montenegro in a women’s flyweight bout on the preliminary card.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Both ladies are decent strikers, but I do like Kareckaite in this one,” Marley said. “Montenegro might have more one-punch power, but I don’t expect to see a TKO. She is also more likely to wrestle, but I don’t see her landing more than 1-2 takedowns. Kareckaite has good technique, and she can strike at a high pace while controlling the cage. Give me her to win 2-3 rounds.”<\/p>\n

Marley also has strong picks for Moreno vs. Kavanagh and other bouts on the UFC Fight Night card. He’s calling for one main-card fight to end in a rapid knockout. You MUST see his UFC Fight Night picks before making any of your own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sixth-ranked Brandon Moreno battles 15th-ranked Lone’er Kavanagh in a UFC flyweight bout in the main event at UFC…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":494438,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,638,82],"class_list":["post-494437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-mma","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494437"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494437\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/494438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
