UFC Announces Full 13-Fight Card For UFC 331
13 fights have been officially announced for UFC 331, which is headlined by a flyweight title fight between Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja
UFC 331's full 13-fight card has been unveiled for September 19 at Crypto.com Arena, featuring significant matchups and potential title eliminations. The main event sees the return of flyweight champion Joshua Van to defend his title against former champion Alexandre Pantoja. Their previous fight at UFC 323 in December lasted only 26 seconds, with Pantoja suffering an injury that forced him to stop the bout.
Van, who defeated Tatsuro Taira by TKO in May, previously won the UFC 125-pound title in July 2023. The co-main event pits Arman Tsarukyan against Mauricio Ruffy, a lightweight clash that could eliminate one of them for a shot at champion Justin Gaethje. Tsarukyan, who recently defeated Dan Hooker by submission in November, previously faced Islam Makhachev at UFC 311 but had to withdraw due to injury.
Ruffy, coming off a June TKO win over Michael Chandler, has been preparing for this high-stakes match. The stacked card is set to provide an exciting night of fighting at Crypto.com Arena.
