Brandon Royval reveals his post-fight message to Tatsuro Taira after 5-round battle | UFC Post Show

[@RemingtonMiles-sr9uf]

Taira definitely will be champion one day. But RawDog is still too tough for anybody to put away..........other than Pantoja. Fight of the Night.

[@Casey90s]

I just love Royval. Hes such a good soul.

[@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231]

This was a great fight, Taira has nothing to be ashamed of, he fought with heart and ate some serious shots. He has a bright future if he keeps working hard.

[@noahbaker-kang5148]

“Hey bro, you see that guy I just beat? Yeah, he’s a future champ. How good does that make me? 😏 “

Great fight, Taira took huge shots in rd3 but stayed in the fight. Dude has a chin and a lot of potential, just needs to refine his striking a bit more

His striking wasent really horrible but his defense has to be worked on , he fights somebody like Kai Kara or Erceg good chance he gets finished

I think Taira is just a bit too comfortable with his stand up man but I’m sure he will come Back better. Praying a Japanese champ arises so I can see an event in Japan😭

[@Chino56751]

Maybe Asakura will get it done

[@AnonymousPerson-h5z]

he needs to train with naoya inoue

[@soobi373]

Whats important is for taira, he should take time for his next fight. He should learn from this fight and rest, because he took a lot of damage

[@Manesson]

Exactly, he needs to refine his striking defense and diversify his game. Once he has that worked out, he'll be a real menace in the division.

[@tristanlyons2883]

Royval should be way more popular. hes humble and honest and a good dude, i thought taira was going to be able to sub him but brandons sub defense was crazy, dominated taira in the striking and i think in rd5 reversed him and almost got taira with the rnc!

@@JohnDoe-c4d6z “took him Down more” this isn’t a wrestling match h lol bro. This is a cage fight. Your guy was getting pieced up and got reversed in the last minute where it mattered the most. Cry abt it

[@annisamaideen218]

I had Taira winning. Was a really close fight, so not really a robbery. I can understand how the optics especially in the 5th swayed it to Royval’s favour for most people. Especially seeing how rd 4 was one-sided, it is expected for the emotions to play a part in how one would judge that fight. Brandon is tough and a dog for sure, but Taira exhibits great control. In an era of stallers and Tairas aggressive game and constant seeking for the finish is refreshing and great for the sport.

[@Underhookmma]

@@annisamaideen218 I think the reversal from Brandon in the last minute of round 5 is what sealed the deal for him all day! For him to dig deep and end strong like that is what the Championship rounds are all about.

[@georgenjoroge6243]

This is why Pantoja is the best. His BJJ is always threatening submission and he is impossible to hurt. Cardio won this fight. Taira needs to improve his striking and switch stances because he doesn't have the power of Kai Kara. Lastly, Mokaev is still the best grappler in this division given his diversity of submission.

[@johnb.shakoor2352]

Mokaev is now the best grappler at McDonald's or wherever he's at

[@realife1542]

Pantoja gets lit up on the fight , gasses out and then is strong enough to hold ppl down

[@nenenindonu]

Asu Almabayev is the best grappler rn

[@ALUCARDSOULJA]

Mokaev aint even in the division

[@DamianWilson-q4l]

Pantoja laid on Brandon their last fight, how is his bjj threatening when that laying on an opponent takes no skill

[@TonSonX]

Outside the octagon, I want them to be like the imaginary couple in The series Y.

[@draco2xx]

taira gonna cry himself all the way back to japan over that loss, his striking needs major improvements. he had no feints, no head movement when striking with royval which is why he got pieced up like that

[@bigbeardmma]

Needs to train with boxers. Dude has a chin. If he can dial the striking in, the guy is a future champ for sure.
