UFC 331 Fight Card
Van vs. Pantoja 2 — September 19, Los Angeles
UFC 331 marks the promotion’s first return to Los Angeles since 2018. Joshua Van defends the flyweight title he won at UFC 323 — after a freak shoulder injury forced Pantoja out just 26 seconds into that fight — in an immediate rematch. Arman Tsarukyan returns to action against Mauricio Ruffy at lightweight in the co-main event, Patrício Pitbull meets Doo-ho Choi at featherweight, and Renato Moicano runs it back with Brian Ortega, almost a decade on from their first meeting. Alonzo Menifield, Gable Steveson, Marlon Vera, Tai Tuivasa and Edmen Shahbazyan round out the main card, with Giga Chikadze headlining four bouts on the prelims.
