September 20, 2026Pablo Navarro2 мин

The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Los Angeles for UFC 331. The event features a 12-bout card, headlined by the men's flyweight championship rematch between Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja.

Van and Pantoja first met at UFC 323 in December. Van secured the flyweight title when Pantoja could not continue due to an arm injury.

Since winning the belt, Joshua Van (17-2 MMA) has defended it once, defeating Tatsuro Taira by fifth-round TKO. The 24-year-old enters tonight on a seven-fight winning streak.

Alexandre Pantoja (30-6 MMA) makes his first appearance since the injury suffered against Van at UFC 323. Before that loss, Pantoja had won seven consecutive fights, including four successful title defenses against opponents like Brandon Royval and Kai Kara-France.

The UFC 331 co-main event is a lightweight bout between Arman Tsarukyan and Maurício Ruffy.

Arman Tsarukyan (23-3 MMA) has won his last five fights. His most recent Octagon appearance saw him submit Dan Hooker in the second round in November 2025. He also holds a split decision win over Charles Oliveira from UFC 300.

Maurício Ruffy (14-2 MMA) last fought in June at UFC Freedom 250, where he knocked out Michael Chandler in the first round. Ruffy is 4-1 in his last five, with his sole loss in that span being a submission defeat to Benoit Saint Denis.

Additionally, the UFC 331 main card includes a featherweight bout pitting Patrício Pitbull against Doo Ho Choi.

Patrício Pitbull (37-9 MMA) aims to get back on track after a unanimous decision loss to Aaron Pico at UFC 327 in April. Before that, he defeated Dan Ige by unanimous decision.

Doo Ho Choi (17-4-1 MMA) is on a three-fight winning streak, with recent TKO victories over Bill Algeo, Nate Landwehr, and Daniel Santos. He previously fought Kyle Nelson to a majority draw.
