Brandon Royval didn’t expect to go the distance with Tatsuro Taira, but the goal of securing victory and handing his opponent his first career loss was accomplished.

The flyweight bout was the UFC Fight Night 244 main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The incredible 25-minute bout left the judges split. The former title challenger Royval (17-7 MMA, 7-3 UFC) was announced as the winner over Taira (17-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC), with dueling 48-47 scores.

Royval set the tone in the opening round with crisp striking, both when leading behind a speedy right jab and catching Taira with sharp counters. Taira responded with a solid offense, connecting in a flurry that led to a takedown.

Early in Round 2, Taira brought the fight to the mat again after smartly kicking off the fence while clinched. On the ground, he locked in a body triangle, allowing him to hunt for a rear-naked choke and land punches while Royval attempted to scramble.

With the fight even after 10 minutes, the game plans were apparent. Royval knew he couldn’t afford to be taken down again.

At his corner’s advice, Royval went to work quickly with sharp punching, putting Taira in trouble on the feet. As Taira attempted to give himself space to reset, Royval poured on the pressure and continued to land big strikes.

Despite being severely threatened, somehow, Tiara found his way onto Royval’s back and slapped on a tight rear-naked choke. The horn may have saved Royval in an otherwise dominant round.

Just 30 seconds into Round 4, Taira was in on the hips, working to get the fight to the ground. He was successful and once again threatened chokes and landed punches and elbows, keeping the fight on the mat for most of the round.

Going into Round 5, the fight was seemingly up for grabs. Taira was able to take it to his comfort zone on the ground, but this time, Royval was able to reverse the position to get back to his feet. Sharp punches connected for Royval, prompting Taira to shoot in. Royval reversed again and threatened his own submissions to close out the fight on a strong note.

While the fight was a split decision, it was not the final round that decided the fight. Instead, Round 1 was the deciding frame, as judge Sal D’Amato scored it for Taira.

Royval, 32, called to be next up for a title shot after UFC 310, where Alexandre Pantoja will look to defend against UFC newcomer Kai Asakura.

“I get that f*cking title shot next,” Royval said during his post-fight interview with Michael Bisping. “I get that title shot next. I’ll be the backup. Kai Asakura, I’m going to Japan, I’m taking that sh*t. If Pantoja wins it, I’m going to Brazil and I’m taking that sh*t.

“Title shot next. That’s the only f*cking discussion. I beat everybody in the top 5 of the f*cking division. Who the f*ck else?”

If granted, it will be Royval’s second attempt to claim the UFC flyweight title. His first shot was against Pantoja at UFC 296, but he came up short on the wrong end of a unanimous decision.

Taira, 24, suffers the first loss of his professional career. He was previously unbeaten through six fights under the UFC banner.

Brandon Royval and Tatsuro Taira showed the MMA world how it’s done.

In one of the best fights of 2024, the flyweight contenders showed off every aspect of their games with back-and-forth striking exchanges and thrilling scrambles on the ground, with Royval eventually leaving the UFC Vegas 98 main event with a split decision win.

Royval entered the bout ranked as the UFC’s No. 1 contender at 125 pounds and Taira brought a shiny 16-0 record into the cage, so a competitive contest was expected, but both men surpassed expectations. In his post-fight interview, Royval praised Taira as a future champion, while stating his own case to be booked for another important fight soon.

Some of MMA’s best and brightest were locked in Saturday’s headliner and they showered praise upon Royval and Taira, who should be a lock for a Fight of the Night bonus.

“Texas fears nobody.”

That is the caption Texas linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. used to accompany a picture of him holding up a ripped Baker Mayfield Oklahoma jersey following the Longhorns‘ dominant 34-3 win over the Sooners on Saturday afternoon in the 120th edition of the Red River Rivalry.

So, why did the Mayfield jersey have a giant tear down the middle of it? 

Check out this video, which shows Hill and fellow Texas teammate Barryn Sorrell planting the Texas flag right through the Oklahoma jersey at midfield following the game.

During his time at Oklahoma, Mayfield was known for planting the Oklahoma flag on the field, the most memorable moment coming after he led the Sooners to a win over Ohio State during the 2017 season. After dismantling the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium, Mayfield sprinted down the field waving an Oklahoma flag before emphatically planting it right in the middle of Ohio State’s field.

Hill was asked about his postgame celebration and his decision to plant the flag in the Mayfield Oklahoma jersey.

“I just felt like it was the right thing for me to do,” Hill Jr. said. “I’ve seen all the stuff they posted last year, so I felt like it was right for me to just get a little touch of something on them. I just had to post me a little something to just make the team and make us feel good.”

Of course, there is no love lost between the Sooners and Longhorns when it comes to the Red River Rivalry, which dates back to 1900 and has been played during the State Fair of Texas since 1929. This marked the first meeting between the two rival programs as members of the SEC.

With Saturday’s win, Texas now holds a 64-51-5 advantage in the series. The Longhorns improved to 6-0 on the season with the victory, while Oklahoma dropped to 4-2 with the loss.

Safe to say this moment will add fuel to the fire.
