Insider info
vs Kevin Borjas clear UFC Fight Night Moreno vs Kavanagh Full Card Preview & Predictions · February 22, 2026
States directly that he expects this fighter to prevail and settles on him as the winner, with a stated mechanism (more power, no lean-back liability, good throws, strong finishing instinct); the only hedge voiced is that it should be a fun, competitive scrap, not a hedge on who wins.
A very solid, 'darn good' striker with really good boxing combinations and more raw power than Borjas, plus good body work and movement that lets him close distance well; crucially, he does not share Borjas's lean-back vulnerability. A good grappler too, with decent takedown defense and good throws - including a lateral drop the analyst highlights as a skill picked up recently, crediting his work with coach Daniel Cormier. Also credited with good killer instinct.
