Dana White gives Brandon Royval double wage
A flying weight shot was for the taking when Joshua fought against Brandon Royval on Saturday evening.
Both men fought like their lives hanging on it, which caused one of the best fights in the recent memory.
Van and Royval landed an amazing 419 important strikes between them for 15 minutes to impress white.
Mma's most powerful man was so happy with the fight he decided to give Royval double wages.
“The beginning of the third round, they were already broken in the top 10 for important strikes,” said White during his UFC 317 after the press conference after the fight.
“I think they have landed on three of all time, crushed the record in their weight division and also broke another record.
“One more thing, I'm going to pay Royval his profit money. You know, he took that fight with the number 12 -arranged man in the short term and put an absolute war.
“Those two are going to do well tonight, and it is absolutely deserved positively.”
What is the next step for Joshua van?
Flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja tapped Kai Kara-France to defend his title in the third round of the UFC 317 Co-Headliner.
Immediately afterwards he shared a face-off with Van, who is the next one in line for a title shot at 125LBS.
It is currently unclear when or where they will clash, but it seems that their fight will happen in 2025.
