A crucial flyweight bout is slated at UFC 329 on Saturday, as ranked contenders Brandon Royval and Lone’er Kavanagh throw hands inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Due to his two-fight losing streak, Royval is going to be the betting underdog with +180 UFC odds, while Kavanagh, who’s coming off a win in his previous match, will be the -220 betting favorite.

UFC 329: Brandon Royval vs. Lone’er Kavanagh: Prediction
I predict a decision win for Kavanagh over Royval because he’s the more technical and disciplined fighter. Also, Royval seem to have problems fighting shorter opponents because when he throws his punches, he’s easily hit with sharp and quick counters.
Another big factor is the wide stance of Royval, as he’s very heavy on his lead leg. This is a perfect target for Kavanagh to chop it down from range. Kavanagh’s background as a kickboxer will be fully used on fight night.
Royval is a good fighter who uses his reach and leg reach advantages, but he often backs up against the fence and when he does, he leaves his chin wide open for boxing combinations. This happened against Manel Kape in his previous fight and I think it’ll happen more often against Kavanagh.
