Brandon Royval’s Denver Dream Center volunteer work before UFC 329
Royval feels privileged to have built personal relationships with less-fortunate kids and watched them grow into young adults. The former title challenger said in the UFC 329 “Embedded” video series:
“The Dream Center is – we pick up the kids in the local area, normally the lower-income area. We bring them, feed them, just create relationships, and check up on everybody… Five years I’ve been a volunteer there. And it’s cool cause most of the kids are in middle school or high school. So I’ve watched them become young adults and handle adversity. So it’s been really cool and a real privilege.”
Bryan Sederwall, the pastor at the Denver Dream Center, says Royval has been consistent for the past five years. Sederwall claims “Raw Dawg” always keeps his commitments to kids, even if he has a fight coming up.
Royval (17-9) is set to collide with Lone’er Kavanagh in a flyweight matchup at UFC 329, which goes down at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, July 11. He will look to rebound from back-to-back losses against Joshua Van and Manel Kape. Meanwhile, Kavanagh (10-1) is coming off a unanimous decision win over former champion Brandon Moreno that saw him bounce back from his first professional loss.
