Flyweight contender Brandon Royval suffered an unfortunate shoulder injury that led to his demise against fellow top contender Brandon Moreno at UFC 255.

In a high-paced, action-packed opening frame which we’ve become accustomed to when either Moreno or Royval enter the Octagon, the latter briefly threatened with a guillotine, before the former flirted with a possible twister setup.

With just a single-second remaining in the opening-round, streaking flyweight contender, Royval dislocated his right shoulder, with number-one contender, Moreno able to finish with ground-and-pound – sealing his shot at the flyweight title next month.

Marc Goddard jumped in to call a halt to the action and Royval began clutching at his right shoulder, which had appeared to pop from its socket. His head-coach Marc Montoya was caught on camera twisting his student’s arm and you can see Royval’s shoulder immediately pops bag in to place – check out the video below.

This is Royval’s first defeat inside the Octagon. He has previously looked sensational in fights against Tim Elliott and Kai Kara-France. Moreno is currently riding a five-fight unbeaten streak and managed to make his already solid case for a 125lb title shot even stronger.

Post-fight UFC president Dana White revealed he will have Deiveson Figueiredo fight again before the year is out, he said.

“We are going to keep him (Figueiredo) here, he’s not going back to Brazil we are going to turn him right around.”

ESPN later confirmed that Figueiredo and Moreno had verbally agreed to fight at UFC 256 on December 12.

With eyes firmly planted on tonight’s flyweight championship main event between Deiveson Figueiredo and Alex Perez, Moreno and Royval were involved in a probable title-eliminator. Scoring a stoppage with just a single-second remaining in the round, Moreno continued his short shots from half guard as Royval winced in pain.

With referee, Marc Goddard jumping to call a halt to the action, Royval began clutching at his right shoulder, which had appeared to pop from it’s socket, with head-coach Marc Montoya relieving his student from some agony as he relocated the extremity following the finish.

Below, catch the highlights from Moreno’s stoppage win over Royval – possibily earning him a crack at undisputed flyweight spoils.

Adesanya

Earlier tonight (Saturday, September, 26th. 2020) UFC 253: Adesanya vs. Costa took place from the Flash Forum on ‘Fight Island’ on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Taking main event status, UFC middleweight champion, Israel ‘The Last Stylebender’ Adesanya lodged the second successful defence of his ever-growing middleweight legacy, with a rather one-sided knockout win over challenger, Paulo ‘The Eraser’ Costa. Scoring a multitude of leg kicks to a seemingly gunshy, Costa – the City Kickboxing mainstay managed to draw some claret from the right eyebrow of the Belo Horizonte native with a left head kick, before countering with a check left hook – resulting in a knockdown. Leaping to guard, Adesanya rained down with strikes, forcing referee Jason Herzog to jump to Costa’s defence.

In our first of two title fights of the night, Poland crowned their newest UFC titleholder, as Jan Blachowicz claimed vacant light heavyweight spoils with a crushing second-round knockout win over Californian striker, Dominick ‘The Devastator’ Reyes. Ripping the body with a stiff kick on the end of multiple combinations, Blachowicz managed to stop Reyes with strikes in the pocket in the second-round – finishing up with ground-and-pound to claim the 205-pound throne.

Taking Fight of the Night bonuses, our flyweight main card clash between exciting contenders, Kai ‘Don’t Blink’ Kara-France, and Brandon ‘Raw Dawg’ Royval. In an explosive back-and-forth in the opening frame, both scored quickfire knockdowns, with Royval connecting with a spinning back-fist, as Kara-France found home with a massive right hand. Surviving an early guillotine attempt, the latter fell victim early in the second frame, with Royval submitting the New Zealand native with a second-round attempt. Royval adds Kara-France to a debut Octagon victory over one-time title challenger, Tim Elliott in May of this year.

In the first of our two Performance of the Night bonuses, the above named, B?achowicz scored the light heavyweight crown as well as an additional $50,000 payday. The former KSW light heavyweight best extended his undefeated run to four-fights off the back of his finish of Reyes, adding the Hesperia native to a winning streak which includes recent Bellator signing, Corey Anderson, and former Strikeforce middlewieght champions, Jacaré Souza, and Luke Rockhold.

Despite former two-time gold holder, Jon Jones vacating the throne in search of spoils a division higher in a long-awaited move, B?achowicz still called for a pairing with the former, with Jones sitting front-row during the Pole’s UFC Fight Night Rio Rancho demolition of the above mentioned, Anderson.

Taking our final bonus of the night with Performance of the Night spoils, curtain-closer, Adesanya. Following up his rather forgettable March title defence opposite multiple-time title challenger, Yoel ‘The Soldier of God’ Romero – Adesanya was back to his sparkling best with a second-round battering of Costa.

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.
