“Not only are the actual odds in his favor, but this is his storyline right here. This is his city, this is his everything…I get to mess up everybody’s parlays and mess up everybody’s days.”

Brandon Royval believes that the pressure is all on Brando Moreno for this fight. Royval took the fight on short notice and is coming off an injury.
Despite this, he believes UFC Mexico City is his for the taking on fight night. Whether or not will Royval be able to get his victory is an answer that can only be answered in the future.
