Brandon Royval Says 'Chaos and Firefights' Suit Him in Pursuit of UFC Flyweight Gold

‘Raw Dawg' meets fellow top-5 contender Askar Askarov in a key clash at next week's UFC Fight Night 212.

Brandon Royval is just six appearances into his UFC career, but the all-action fighter has already nabbed three "Fight of the Night" awards for his efforts.

Most recently, Royval and fellow scrapper Matt Schnell packed about as much excitement as possible into a bout that lasted less than half of a round at May's UFC 274. The two took turns wobbling each other on the feet over the course of a little more than two minutes before Royval was able to latch on to a fight-ending guillotine choke that saw each man take home an extra $50,000 for their efforts.
