Brazilians mostly speak Portugese where the R is pronounced as an H. Royce has brothers and cousins who all follow the same rule. Rolker, Royler, Renzo, Rorian, Relson and many more.

In Portuguese, an R is only pronouced as an H when it is at the beginning of a word or if two R's are placed together in the middle of a word. Otherwise, it is pronounced like an English R.
It's kind of funny that "rock and roll" in Portuguese sounds like "hockey hole" :)

Because Royce is from Brazil and in portugese, the "R" in Royce is pronounced "H".

that is the proper pronunciation of his name.
anyone who really knows mma or has studied bjj or knows anything topical about martial arts knows not to call royce "Royce" instead of "hoyce".
