"Raw Dawg". That's what they call Brandon Royval, and is ranked #3 at UFC flyweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.
The ground is where fights end: 10 wins by submission (56% of the total). Scrambles that look even suddenly aren't. Add the southpaw stance, and the puzzle gets harder still.
Most recent outing: a win over Lone'er Kavanagh via submission (rear naked choke) r3. Business handled.
