Winner: Lone?er Kavanagh
Confidence Score: 68Lone?er Kavanagh is an undefeated prospect with a 9-0 record, showing strong striking metrics (50% accuracy, 62% defense) and perfect takedown defense (100%). He is 25 years old, entering his physical prime, and has already notched wins over quality opposition like Felipe Dos Santos and Jose Ochoa. His kickboxing style and youth match well against the archetype of successful up-and-comers in the flyweight division. Charles Johnson is experienced and has size advantages (height, reach, leg reach), but at 34, he is at the tail end of his prime for this weight class. His takedown defense (67%) and accuracy (21%) are notably lower than Kavanagh's, and recent UFC trends show that younger, undefeated fighters with high defensive metrics and strong striking accuracy win a majority of similar matchups, especially when facing older, more battle-worn opponents. Johnson's experience and size may keep the fight competitive, but the statistical edge and momentum favor Kavanagh.
