Van and Pantoja to Rematch at UFC 331 in Los Angeles

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

UFC Flyweight champion Joshua Van will rematch Alexandre Pantoja in the main event of UFC 331, scheduled for September 19, 2026, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. The fight is a repeat of their prior contest. UFC 331 features what officials are calling a “loaded lineup,” though no specific fights beyond the main event were detailed. No right-leaning outlets have reported on this event. The promotion’s return to Crypto.com Arena—formerly Staples Center—suggests a continued focus on the Los Angeles market for major UFC events.

The event's scheduling places it over a year in the future, raising questions about potential changes to the fight card or unforeseen circumstances that could impact the scheduled rematch.
