UFC 317 Main Event: Brandon Royval vs. Manel Kape

This is the third time the UFC has booked Royval vs. Kape. The fight promotion first scheduled the fight for March 2025, but Royval withdrew from the contest to allow himself to recover from back-to-back concussions.

“First and foremost, I’ve fought so many times injured,” Royval said. “I’ve fought with broken hands, torn labrums, torn MCLs, all that, and for a lot less money and not as meaningful of events. Pulling out of a main event for the No. 1 spot was definitely a hard decision to make.

“Maybe a couple months back, I had a concussion. Nothing too crazy; I was just playing it safe, playing it smart. A couple weeks later, when I recovered, I accepted this fight, which was awesome. [I wanted to] fight Manel Kape. I respect his skills, I respect him as a striker and all that. I was training hard for this fight, and being a little reckless and being kind of in the zone for camp, I got another concussion. This one was severely worse. It’s been over a week at this point, and I’m still dealing with the repercussions of it and the symptoms of a bad concussion. And because of that reason and because of the reasoning of adding a weight cut, Manel Kape being a good striker, and this being a predominantly striking match that we felt this would be the safest move. Take some time, recover, recover the right way this time, and fight at a later date. Fight when I can fully train, fully take a punch, and give you guys the best of my ability.

“I’m sorry a million times over, but I do feel like this is the best thing for my all-around health. I’ve played with plenty of injuries in my life, but you really only get one brain, and the brain cells don’t heal. All this was playing into why I thought this was the better move.”

The UFC next schedule the contest for the UFC 317 pay-per-view card, but Kape was forced from that event.

“With great regret, I come to inform that I am out of the next #UFC317 competition.

“I suffered a foot fracture during the training &, after medical evaluation, I was instructed to have surgery & focus 100% on recovery.

“It’s not easy to stay out of something I’ve been preparing for with so much dedication, and without a doubt this would be the most advantageous fight of my career but I understand that this is just another challenge on the way and I trust the plans that Allah has for me!

“I sincerely thank everyone who is with me – we remain firm, stronger with each obstacle. The battle was only postponed… I’ll be back soon!” Kape wrote on X.

Heading into Saurday’s event, Royval is the No. 2 ranked fighter in the official UFC flyweight rankings, while Kape checks in at No. 6.
