More than three months after his appearance on Dana White’s Contender Series (where he scored an impressive knockout), the undefeated Lone’er Kavanagh (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) stepped into the Octagon for the first time yesterday at UFC Fight Night: Yan vs Figueiredo. Making his debut in Macau, China, the impeccable Englishman had his work cut out for him when he went up against fellow undefeated competitor Jose Ochoa (7-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC).
Fighting out of Peru, Ochoa boasted not just a perfect 7-0 record (the same as Kavanagh at the time of their bout), but a 100 percent finishing rate across his professional and amateur careers.
