Ramazan Temirov says he is ready for the next step in the UFC flyweight division, with Lone'er Kavanagh emerging as the opponent he wants most. The rising contender is making his intentions clear after another strong performance inside the Octagon.
Temirov, now 20-2 in MMA and 3-0 in the UFC, raised his profile with a first-round TKO over former title challenger Steve Erceg. That result put the division on notice and strengthened the case that he can move quickly toward bigger matchups at 125 pounds.
After that win, Temirov pointed to Kavanagh as a logical next test while also stressing that he sees himself on a path to the UFC flyweight title. His comments reflected full confidence in his striking power and his belief that he can trouble anyone in the weight class.
With momentum building, Temirov appears to be positioning himself for a key contender fight rather than a step back in competition. Whether the UFC matches him with Kavanagh or another ranked name, his victory over Erceg has clearly pushed him further into the flyweight title conversation.
