The UFC 274 prelims just produced one of the rare sights that fans don’t get to witness so often. American mixed martial artist and flyweight contender, Brandon Royval, displayed a grappling master class against a very game Matthew Christopher Schnell. ‘Danger’ attempted a takedown early in the first round, but did not expect what followed.

Schnell initiated a takedown and attacked Royval with a guillotine choke. But the 29-year-old mixed martial artist was more than prepared to deal with such adversity as he reversed the position. Not only that, but Royval even managed to secure a guillotine choke of his own early in the fight and earn the win.

UFC fans react to Brandon Royval’s dominant grappling showcase

It is no easy task to secure a choke, especially from the bottom after getting dropped. However, it did not seem to faze ‘Raw Dawg’ as the flyweight contender dealt with adversity in style. Naturally, fans and fellow fighters also loved the elite grappling display as they took to Twitter to shower words of praise.

Not even half a round, Royval’s finished it before anyone could make their predictions. Now that is a serious threat for anyone to deal with in the flyweight division.

Surging welterweight content and fellow wrestling aficionado, Belal ‘The Bully’ Muhammad liked what he saw. Dubbing the grappling exchange as ‘pure chaos’, it seems like ‘The Bully’ loved the fight.
