Van vs Pantoja II Set for Crypto.com Arena Rematch

The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Los Angeles proper for the first time in nearly a decade with UFC 331, headlined by flyweight title contenders Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja. Their previous encounter ended prematurely when Pantoja suffered an injury just seconds into the fight, denying him his coronation as champion; now both fighters aim to settle their rivalry once again on Saturday at Crypto.com Arena. The main event features a five-round championship bout between 17-2 Joshua Van and 30-6 Alexandre Pantoja, with expectations high for one of 2026's best fights following the former champ’s recent successful defense against Tatsuro Taira.
