Brandon Royal vs. Rogerio Bontorin – Fight Analysis, Prediction, and Odds

Two amazing submission artists will face on the main card of the first event of 2022. Brandon Royal will try to stop his two losing streaks, while Rogerio will earn the second victory in a row.

Royal is a BJJ fighter, but he also has impressive striking. He is always moving forward because he is not afraid to be taken down. He has a reach advantage of 9CM against his rival, so I think he will do the same and use his reach efficiently during striking. Nobody knows who's ground game is better, but Royval's striking is way more aggressive and better.

Rogerio is a great classical grappler. In the UFC, he earned three victories and suffered two losses. He has 11 submission victories, but he could not earn any submission victory in the UFC yet. Does it mean that his submission game is overrated? Nobody knows. He was dominating against Kai Kara France for the whole first round, but as soon as the fight continued in the standing, Kai Kara earned a brutal KO victory.

I don't think Rogerio will earn the first submission victory against a fighter like Royal, but I believe that Royal can KO Rogerio. Royal's victory has the odds of 1.6, and I believe these are great odds for such a fight.
