[edit] Trivia
- Due to being a Brazilian Portuguese name, "Royler" is pronounced as if the first 'R' were an 'H'. Many of Royler's brothers' and cousins' names begin with R and are similarly pronounced.
- Royler is the first 2nd generation Gracie to be defeated in MMA, as he was stopped via TKO(kimura) by Kazushi Sakuraba. Although the fight was to have no judges, and Royler did not tap, it was clear that Kazushi Sakuraba overwhelmingly dominated the fight.
