Former LFA flyweight best, Brandon ‘Raw Dawg’ Royval continues his rise in the UFC. The Factory X mainstay scores his second win under the promotion’s banner, with a quickfire second-round guillotine win over Kai Kara-France.

In an absolute barnburner in the opening round, both Kara-France and Royval dropped each other in the space of mere seconds, with the former uncorking a massive right-hand before the latter found a home for a spinning back-fist.

Threatening with a brief guillotine attempt in the opening-frame, Royval readjusted in the second round when the opportunity opened once more, triangulating his guard before forcing a tap from the gritty, Kara-France.

Expect Royval to leapfrog the top-ten, and lay claim to Kara-France’s #7 rank come the release of the updated rankings next week.

Below, check out the highlights from Royval’s second Octagon success.

There was one scary injury at LFA 39.

The event took place on Friday night (May 4, 2018) at the Dodson Arena in Vail, Colorado on AXS TV.

Just 40 seconds into his flyweight bout against Brandon Royval, Jerome Rivera suffered a scary injury with his elbow once he pushed off the cage.

As a result, his elbow bent the opposite direction. He noticed that he was injured and tried to get away from Royval but Royval chased after him as he was unaware of the injury and landed a head kick.

Rivera tried to walk away and signal that he is injured but the referee couldn’t get there in time right before Rivera was dropped by a head kick as he was turning away. This led to the contest being stopped.

Royval improved his MMA record to 7-3 while Rivera dropped to 7-2 as a result of this finish, which you can watch here:
