Background
Wee earned a double major in management and in marketing at Murdoch University.
He started his martial arts career after he graduated from polytechnic (he studied computer engineering) [citation needed] at the age of 21. He initially trained Muay Thai, and then started training at Fight G in Singapore. Two years later he started training MMA at Impact MMA.
The Ultimate Fighter
In July 2013, Royston tried out for The Ultimate Fighter: China when tryouts were held in Singapore. Royston had only previously competed at flyweight, but the lightest weight class available for the tryouts was featherweight.

Shortly thereafter Royston was signed by the UFC on a multi-fight contract. In his debut, he defeated Dave Galera by decision at UFC Fight Night 34 on January 4, 2014.
In his second bout with the promotion, Wee faced Yao Zhikui on August 23, 2014 at UFC Fight Night: Bisping vs. Le. He won via split decision, sustaining a broken nose in the fight.
Wee faced Ning Guangyou on May 16, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 66. He lost the fight via TKO in the second round and was subsequently released from the promotion on September 2, 2015.
