· VILLAND PICK editorial
The Ultimate Fighting Championship heads to Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sept. 19 for UFC 331, headlined by a flyweight championship rematch between Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja. Van (17-2) puts his title on the line against former champion Pantoja (30-6), who logged four title defenses before losing the belt to Van last December after suffering a dislocated elbow in less than 30 seconds. Van has since defended the championship with a knockout victory over Tatsuro Taira this past May.
In the co-main event, lightweights Arman Tsarukyan and Mauricio Ruffy clash in a high-stakes matchup. Tsarukyan (23-3) enters the contest riding a five-fight winning streak, having finished Dan Hooker in his last outing in November 2025. He meets Ruffy (14-2), who comes in with momentum following back-to-back stoppage victories over Rafael Fiziev and Michael Chandler.
