Brandon Royval has seen a lot in the fight game, and he knows more than most about life in the upper reaches of the UFC flyweight division. But what he doesn’t know heading into his Saturday main event against Tatsuro Taira is what it feels like to be 16-0 and closing in on a title fight.

“I lost my second pro fight.,” said Royval, who actually started off his career at 5-3 before getting on a run that led him to the UFC and the top of the weight class.
