Brandon Royval doesn’t like to discuss it, but caught up in the emotions of the biggest victory of his career Saturday night — in a fight many felt was unjustly buried on the UFC Fight Night prelims — it just slipped out.
Royval, who is 15-6 with 13 finishes, had no intention of letting the world in on his family’s hardships, telling The Post via Zoom on Tuesday that was the first time he had ever brought up his brothers’ situation. “In the Colorado jail system, between me working at a juvie for years and, you know, me having family [members] that have spent a lot of time in jail, it’s just, I do numbers there,” he said, ending with a laugh. “I get numbers with the jail system.”
“I wouldn’t be doing MMA without my brother,” a matter-of-fact Royval said. “My brother and I started this s–t together. In my opinion, he could have been one of the best flyweights in the world, too, and he chose to lessen himself throughout his life. But that being said … me and him could have been way bigger than the Figgy brothers [Francisco and former flyweight champ Deiveson Figueiredo]. I genuinely believe that.
