This evening, Alexandre Pantoja aims for revenge against Joshua Van in their highly anticipated rematch at UFC 331. The two fighters meet for the second time in just nine months, following a controversial first encounter where Pantoja suffered an injury just 26 seconds into their flyweight title defense, allowing Van to claim the belt under unusual circumstances.

Since then, the Myanmar native has solidified his championship status by defeating Tatsuro Taira in a grueling match last May, ultimately stopping Taira in the final round. However, to truly validate his reign as flyweight champion, Van must secure a definitive victory over Pantoja.
