“Heartbroken to say that I will not be competing on Dec 17th. Training mma is always intense and I\u2019ve competed many times with injuries, actually most of my ufc career. Last week after a practice I was feeling a pain in my wrist. After a few days of the deformity, bruising and the pain not going away, I went to the doctors where they determined I broke my wrist. Thankfully I won\u2019t need surgery, but I will not be recovered in enough time to compete. This is the first time despite many injuries, I\u2019ve ever had to pull out of a mma fight and couldn\u2019t navigate my camp around it. I\u2019m super sad but this won\u2019t change that I\u2019ll have the belt by the end of 2023,” Royval wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brandon Royval (14-6) is on a two-fight win streak after defeating Matt Schnell by submission back in May<\/a> after defeating Rogerio Bontorin in January. Prior to that, he suffered a submission loss to Alexandre Pantoja and a TKO loss to Brandon Moreno<\/a> in a fight he dislocated his shoulder. In the UFC, Royval is 4-2 with his other two wins coming by submission over Tim Elliott and Kai Kara-France.<\/p>\n

With Royval vs. Albazi off, UFC Vegas 66 is now as follows:<\/p>\n
