Brandon Royval showed toughness during and after his fight with Brandon Moreno at UFC 255 after dislocating his shoulder.
Royval survived a perilous back take from Moreno in the opening stanza of their UFC 255 prelims headliner. Royval's shoulder popped out of its socket in the closing 30-seconds of the round. He audibly yelled and struggled to defend himself from a barrage of punches on the ground. The fight was called off at 4:59 and ruled a TKO. After the fight, Royval's coach effortlessly popped the shoulder back in place.

Royval was noticeably more composed once the shoulder popped back in and he could have arguably continued fighting had he reached the five-minute mark. Moreno was awarded the victory and maintains his number one contender spot in the men's flyweight division.
