Brandon Royval considers ‘more well rounded’ Brandon Moreno tougher fight than Alexandre Pantoja

Brandon Royval thinks UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno would be an overall tougher challenge than Alexandre Pantoja.

Royval (15-6 MMA, 5-2 UFC) is expected to be the backup for the flyweight title fight between Moreno and Pantoja, which co-headlines UFC 290 on July 8 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Royval’s lone octagon losses have come in back-to-back stoppages to Moreno (21-6-2 MMA, 9-3-2 UFC) and Pantoja (25-5 MMA, 9-3 UFC). He rates both men’s skills highly but sees more ways for Moreno to win.
