2-ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Flyweight contender, Brandon Royval, suffered a first round knockout loss to Manel Kape in the main event of UFC Vegas 112 last night (Sat., Dec. 13, 2025) inside UFC’s Apex venue in Las Vegas, Nevada (watch highlights). Royval remains one of the Flyweight division’s elite contenders and is notably the only fighter to defeat Tatsuro Taira — a win that came just last year and could age very well if Taira ends up fighting for UFC gold next. Add in his “Fight of the Year” war with current 125-pound champion, Joshua Van, and Royval’s standing in the division remains strong despite the setback.
