Charles Johnson Calls Out Brandon Royval After UFC 330 Victory, Van's Behavior at UFC 331 Presser
What was said
"I would love to fight as soon as I'm healthy within the next 90 days and I would love a main event if it makes sense for the UFC and I would like to fight against Brandon Royal or Kaioji Horuchi or Tatu Tyra for a main event. Whoever they think is due for a main event, give me one of those guys."
After winning his latest UFC bout, Charles Johnson said he wants to return within roughly 90 days and is seeking a main-event slot. He named Brandon Royval, Kyoji Horiguchi and Tatsuro Taira as preferred opponents, then said his top choice is Royval, citing their prior LFA fight and calling Royval the most proven of the options.
