A new contender has emerged at 125 pounds and his name is Brandon Royval.
Following a Performance of the Night bonus in his UFC debut, Royval made quite the impression in his sophomore appearance inside the octagon by tapping out top 10 ranked flyweight Kai Kara-France in a crazy battle on the UFC 253 main card.
While the exchanges on the feet were nothing short of jaw-dropping it was a guillotine choke secured by Royval at just 48 seconds into the second round that got him the victory.
“I get in there and I fight and that’s all there is to it,” Royval said following his fourth straight win in a row overall.
