Lone'er Kavanagh hasn’t even been on the UFC roster for a month, but he’s not afraid to tell the world where he thinks he’ll end up.
Looking into his crystal ball, Kavanagh (7-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) sees high-end contender status a reality 18 months from now – with potential championship gold coming shortly thereafter.
“For me, I’ve already told my manager Jose (Diaz), with First Round Management, my goal is to become UFC champion in two years,” Kavanagh recently told MMA Junkie Radio. “So whatever I have to do to get there, I’m ready for it. I’ll take fights. I’m not here to stick about. I want to get to the top as fast as I can basically. Say, in a year-and-a-half, I want to be on that top. I hope to be up in the rankings. I hope to be closer to those shots.”
