Brandon Royval came in right on the number Thursday, tipping the scales at 125 pounds to clear his flyweight limit ahead of his UFC 329 bout scheduled for July 11 on Paramount+.
Royval, 33, enters the contest as the number-three ranked flyweight in the UFC. The Colorado product, who competes out of Factory X, carries a professional record of 17-9 and has built a reputation as one of the most relentless finishers in the 125-pound division. Fighting out of a southpaw stance at five-foot-nine with a 68-inch reach, the Raw Dawg generates significant pressure on the feet, averaging 5.54 significant strikes landed per minute. His submission threat is equally dangerous, with 1.1 submission attempts per 15 minutes, making him a constant danger wherever the fight goes.

Why it matters
- Royval's ranking at number three means a strong performance could position him directly in line for a title shot in a division that rewards activity.
- His high striking output combined with an active submission game creates problems across multiple areas of the fight.
- Successfully making weight keeps his camp on schedule and removes any uncertainty heading into fight night.
