Glad they got the fight of the night bonus, awesome fight. Great grappling exchanges and super high pace from the opening bell. Royval’s post fight was funny and honest AF, complaining he would have to go to work the next day (story of my life) because he wasn’t gonna get a bonus.
 
It was a fun fight. Elliot was doing very well early but he was using up so much energy and inevitably gassed. He’s worryingly susceptible to submissions. I hope they give him one more shot before he is cut though.

Royval is a good addition to 125. No idea how high his ceiling is. I don’t see a championship level fighter but he could find himself in the top 5-7 perhaps. Maybe if he doesn’t have to work a job he might go up a level.
 
Elliot's scrambling is so go, but his positioning was awful. He was on top the majority of the fight but not once in position for any submission.
