Van vs Pantoja: The Unfinished Business of a Championship Rematch The flyweight title rematch between Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja at UFC 331 has been a long time coming, due in part to controversy surrounding their previous fight.
In December, Van won the belt from Pantoja with a first round TKO, but Pantoja suffered a freak elbow injury just seconds into the bout, leaving some to wonder if he was truly defeated.
Van's desire for a rematch has been clear, but some have questioned whether he is seeking to silence lingering doubts about his status as champion.
