The UFC 274 prelims just produced one of the rare sights that fans don’t get to witness so often. American mixed martial artist and flyweight contender, Brandon Royval, displayed a grappling master class against a very game Matthew Christopher Schnell. ‘Danger’ attempted a takedown early in the first round, but did not expect what followed.

Schnell initiated a takedown and attacked Royval with a guillotine choke. But the 29-year-old mixed martial artist was more than prepared to deal with such adversity as he reversed the position. Not only that, but Royval even managed to secure a guillotine choke of his own early in the fight and earn the win.
