UFC Fight Night 244 preview: Will Brandon Royval or Tatsuro Taira secure flyweight title shot?

The UFC flyweight division might figure out its next title challenger this Saturday.

Top contenders Brandon Royval and Tatsuro Taira clash in the main event of UFC Fight Night 244 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. At this moment, there’s no clear challenger for champion Alexandre Pantoja, thus opening up the doors for someone to make a statement and cement himself as the No. 1 contender in the division.

But how likely is that will be Royval or Taira? And who has the better shot?

MMA Junkie’s Brian Garcia, Nolan King, Mike Bohn, and host “Gorgeous” George breakdown the flyweight main event and highlight some of the other matchups taking place on the card.

Watch their discussion in the video above, and don’t miss this week’s complete episode of “Spinning Back Clique” below on YouTube.
