Brandon Royval is set to face Alexandre Pantoja in the UFC 296 co-main event for the flyweight title. Royval, who is seeking respect more than the belt, has plans to call out other fighters after becoming champion and is also committed to mentoring Denver's at-risk youth. Pantoja, who previously defeated Royval, is preparing for his first title defense and is determined to be a model champion, vowing not to be a reality show.
