Brandon Royval rarely—if ever—falls short of expectations in terms of entertainment value, especially when he has a willing dance partner standing across from him.
The Marc Montoya protégé will try to hold his place in the Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight line when he tangles with Manel Kape in the UFC Vegas 112 headliner this Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Royval has logged nine wins across his past 13 appearances, firmly establishing himself in the Top 10 at 125 pounds. The onetime Legacy Fighting Alliance champion finds himself on the rebound after his epic encounter with Joshua Van resulted in a unanimous decision defeat at UFC 317 on June 28.
