Brandon Royal - Lonier Kavanagh: Betting Tip (cf 2.40) and betting on the fight

Current form

Brandon Royal is going through a difficult stage of his career. In December 2025, he was stopped by Manel Capa in the first round, losing by technical knockout. Even earlier, the American had lost by unanimous decision to Joshua Wang in a duel, the winner of which had excellent chances to approach the title fight. The only bright moment lately remains the hard-fought victory over Tatsuro Taira, obtained by a split decision of the judges.

At the age of 33, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Royval to compete with young fighters who are actively breaking into the elite of the division. The quick defeat by Kape made many doubt the prospects of the American, but it is worth admitting that the opponent then showed an almost perfect performance and demonstrated one of the most dangerous striking techniques in the category. During his career, Royval achieved 17 victories, of which four were won by knockout, four by judicial decision and nine by receptions. He also has nine defeats to his credit.

Current form 

Lonier Kavanagh belongs to a new generation of fighters who are gradually changing the balance of power in the light heavyweight division. In February of this year, the Briton made himself known by confidently defeating Brandon Moreno at a tournament in Mexico City. This success allowed him to quickly forget about his unexpected knockout defeat by Charles Johnson, which was a serious blow to his reputation.

Kavanagh currently has three wins and one loss in the UFC. Despite the impressive success in the fight with Moreno. The fight with Johnson showed that the Briton has weaknesses, and even earlier, Jose Ochoa had good episodes against him. Nevertheless, it is impossible not to mention Kavanagh's character. He agreed to come on as a substitute in a short time, managed to win after a heavy defeat and did it in the difficult conditions of the highlands of Mexico City. The 27-year-old Englishman has nine wins, three of which were by knockout and six by points. The only defeat so far remains an exception in his professional career.
