"I think Mokaev's desire to bend me to a fight is a stupid idea. Because if you look at the situation in the division, either me or him will get a title shot. So I want to get a championship fight against Pantoja. The fight against Mokaev will happen eventually. But right now, I want to face Pantoja. I'll be ready for the UFC 301 tournament. And I'm sure that I will defeat the champion," - quotes Royval MMA Junkie.
Recall that in late February, Royval won a split decision over Brandon Moreno.
