UFC flyweight Brandon Royval isn’t happy that his title ambitions will be put on ice by the proposed interim title fight between Brandon Moreno and Kai Kara France.
Royval is back among the flyweight division’s top five after making a statement against Matt Schnell at UFC 274 last weekend. The 29-year-old took just over two minutes to sink in a guillotine choke and notch up his second successive victory.
Royval is now very much in the flyweight title picture, having successfully rebounded from back-to-back losses against Moreno and Alexandre Pantoja. The Colorado native seems to have recaptured the rich vein of form that saw him earn submission wins over Tim Elliot and Kai Kara France following his UFC debut in 2020.
Royval’s title ambitions, however, will likely be hampered by doings other than his own. “Raw Dawg” is expected to face #3 ranked Pantoja in August, and if he wins, will surely be next in line for a title shot. However, with an interim title fight between Moreno and Kara France in the works for July, the prospect of a long wait to face champ Deiveson Figueiredo beckons for Royval.
Speaking to MMA News, Royval says that while he’s looking forward to watching the interim bout, he’s ruing the fact that it will likely hold up his title ambitions, and that his resurgence hadn’t come sooner.
“The matchup’s gonna be good, man,” said Royval. “I’m sure they’re both gonna bring it. It’s one of those that it’s like, I wish I could’ve earned my spot in there quicker, but it is what it is. It kinda sucks for me, in my position, ’cause it holds up the division for me, ’cause the winner of this fight is gonna go on and probably fight Figgy next… I just wish it was at a sooner date. I wish they’d just schedule that next month.”
There is, however, a glimmer of hope that Royval can bypass the wait for a title shot. If either Moreno or Kara France are forced to pull out of their interim bout, Brandon is more than willing to step in.
“I’m gonna stay on weight,” said Royval. “If any of those guys get hurt, man, I’m just gonna be ready at all times. Why not? If I know anything about this sport, the biggest opportunities don’t come with a lot of notice. Big opportunities come with short notice and always being ready… stay ready ’cause you never know what’s gonna happen.”
What do you think? Will Brandon Royval soon be fighting for the flyweight title?

Former LFA flyweight champion, Brandon Royval has solidified his status as an elite contender at the flyweight limit — stopping Matt Schnell with his first ninth career submission victory courtesy of an opening round guillotine win on the preliminary card of UFC 274.
Royval, who entered tonight’s clash with Schnell ranked as the #6 flyweight under the banner of the organization, having landed prior victories over Tim Elliot, Kai Kara-France, and Rogerio Bontorin — the most recent of which in January.
Surviving an early first round knock down against an aggressive Schnell, Royval was almost himself submitted with a guillotine choke after numerous scrambles, before escaping, and catching Schnell with a front choke of his own, immediately jumping to his back, and forcing a quickfire tap.

UFC flyweight contender Brandon Royval is ready and willing to serve as the backup to the Brandon Moreno vs. Deiveson Figueiredo trilogy if anything happens ahead of UFC 270.

UFC flyweight contender Brandon Royval is ready and willing to serve as the backup to the Brandon Moreno vs. Deiveson Figueiredo trilogy if anything happens ahead of UFC 270.
Royval is just days removed from an impressive win over Rogerio Bontorin at UFC Vegas 46, earning a split decision victory. It was a close fight from start-to-finish, but Royval’s pace as the bout went on turned out to be the difference.
During an exclusive interview with LowKickMMA’s James Lynch, Royval revealed that he quickly turned his attention to what could be next for him.
“We’ll try to celebrate next week,” Royval said. “I’m trying to stay on weight, trying to stay focused. I know it’s not likely that someone’s going to drop out of the title fight. But, if there is going to be someone who drops out, it’s probably Figgy. If Figgy drops out, I know I’m the alternative. There’s no other option really. I’m just staying close to weight and waiting for a call. They told me to be prepared in the next day or two when they go into Anaheim and do their test weights and see where they’re at from there. Might as well try to stay focused and kill two birds with one stone.”
Before signing with the UFC, Royval earned the LFA flyweight title after defeating Nate Williams for the vacant belt at LFA 79. He would go on to sign with the UFC just months later and win his promotional debut over former title challenger Tim Elliott.
Royval also holds a win over Kai Kara-France at UFC 253, before losing back-to-back fights to Moreno and Alexandre Pantoja. The win over Bontorin keeps him in the title picture, and potentially gives him a title fight at UFC 270 if anyone withdraws.
The Moreno/Figueiredo trilogy is one of the most highly-anticipated fights to begin 2022, but Royval has the chance to save the fight if the UFC contacts him on short notice to fill in.

A video has emerged appearing to show Rogerio Bontorin tapping out to a Brandon Royval armbar in last night’s flyweight action.
The bout was expected to be a fun one and certainly did not disappoint. The two 125 pound contenders went back and forth for the first 10 minutes before controversy ensued late in the fight.
With the scorecards seeming to be locked up at one round apiece, Royval locked in a tight armbar in the third round. Bontorin appeared to submit, but it went unnoticed by referee Mark Smith and the fighters battled to a judge’s decision.
It ultimately proved to be irrelevant as Royval won via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 29-28) but plenty from around the fight world chimed in on Twitter after noticing the tap on television.
29-28 Royval. And that is a tap to me. A CLEAR one even in the replay. @MMADecisions #UFCVegas46

What do you think is next for Royval after this win?
With a win over Kai Kara-France and a hard fought battle with the current champion Brandon Moreno, Royval has proven to be able to hang with the elites at 125. Is he one win away from a title shot?
How about Bontorin? This marks three losses in his last four and he should expect to drop down from his current #7 spot in the rankings.
Did you think Brandon Royval should’ve got the submission win at UFC Vegas 46?
