Joshua Van holds the UFC flyweight title after his December 2025 first-round TKO win over Alexandre Pantoja at UFC 323, which ended due to an early arm injury on the former champion. Van followed with a dominant fifth-round TKO defense against Tatsuro Taira at UFC 328 in May 2026. The September 19 UFC 331 rematch pits the 24-year-old Van’s speed, finishing power, and seven-fight win streak against Pantoja’s experience and eight-fight streak before the title loss. This high-stakes clash, combined with Pantoja’s recovery and motivation for redemption, keeps implied probabilities nearly even. Other ranked contenders trail significantly, as the division’s near-term outcomes hinge on these two.
