Brandon Royval vs Matheus Nicolau Prediction: They Will Make the Audience Bored

Prediction for the UFC on ESPN 44 Brandon Royval vs Matheus Nicolau fight which will take place on April 16th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Brandon Royval has been successfully competing in the UFC since 2020. He had six fights in the strongest league but still lost two main fights – Brandon Moreno and Alexandre Pantoja. These two defeats did not knock him out. He won with a split from Rogerio Bontorin and Matt Schnell in the first round.

Royval has a black belt in Brazilian jiu–jitsu. He won most of the time with techniques but also respected a good fight. Moreover, he prefers to rush forward, throwing out just a considerable number of non-standard, some not exceptionally prepared blows, including elbows and knees, many of which, for some reason, reach the goal.

Nicolau also quickly dealt with the unfortunate Matt Schnell in his previous fight, but unlike Royval, he knocked him out. In his last six fights, Nicolau has won six times (four in the UFC). However, there were no big names among the fighters he defeated.

Oddsmakers see Nikolau as the favorite. Brendan will likely try to fight aggressively. And there two wrestlers will not take risks and will make the audience bored.
