UFC 331 Van vs. pantoja 2

UFC 331 heads to Los Angeles, California, on 19 September 2026, with a flyweight title fight waiting. The main card fight sees Joshua Van putting his UFC flyweight championship on the line against former champion Alexandre Pantoja in a highly anticipated rematch. Last December, Joshua Van's title win over Alexandre Pantoja basically ended before it started because of injury, and high hopes for Pantoja's attempt to regain his belt could produce one of the best fights of 2026. The card also features prelims and early prelims, several ranked contenders, and a mix of finishes and decision battles that could reshape the divisional picture. For viewers watching from home, UFC 331 will stream live on Paramount+.
