Explosive UFC fighter describes what makes him a more entertaining fighter than the rest
Rising UFC flyweight contender Brandon Royval recently scored a spectacular knockout victory over Matheus Nicolau with a knee strike followed by a barrage of elbows at UFC Kansas City. This was Royval's third consecutive win in the octagon, and he is now brimming with confidence.
In a recent interview with MMA Underground, Royval discussed what sets him apart from other fighters in the division. According to 'Raw Dawg', his fighting style is more entertaining than that of his competitors, as he is always looking to finish fights with exciting and creative techniques:
"I believe I'm the most dangerous dude in this division it's like and I feel like I've proven it too. You can watch Brandon Moreno, you can watch Alexandre Pantoja and all them it's like if you watch them they're not as, like, I use all my weapons."
The 125-pounder further added:
"I use all my weapons, I'm throwing knees, I'm throwing back elbows, I'm throwing elbows and fights. I'm doing a lot you know. I just feel like when it comes down to, like, who's dangerous is, I'm the most dangerous in this division right now and I'm the biggest threat to anybody."

Yeah, I got the backup slot, I think that’s guaranteed, so yeah, I don’t know if that means I’m gonna be the next for the title fight or whatever, but I’m staying ready. I’m getting ready for this just in case something happens.”
