While the majority of fans, including multi-time UFC champion Daniel Cormier, were impressed with Brandon Royval’s UFC debut, the fighter himself still wasn’t overly enthused days later.
Royval defeated former flyweight title challenger Tim Elliott via second-round submission at UFC on ESPN 9 this past Saturday. The performance earned “Raw Dawg” a $50,000 bonus for being one half of the event’s “Fight of the Night,” but it still left him with a bad taste in his mouth.
“I went back and watched it,” Royval told MMA Fighting while appearing on What the Heck.
