Brandon Royval proved he’s worthy of another flyweight title shot Saturday when he took Tatsuro Taira’s undefeated record in the UFC Fight Night 244 main event.
After falling short of gold against champion Alexandre Pantoja in December, Royval (17-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) continued to build his case for another chance courtesy of a split decision victory over Japanese sensation Taira (16-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
