UFC 331: Will Arman Tsarukyan get screwed again — and 5 more burning questions
Is Tsarukyan setting himself up for another disappointment? Is Joshua Van's flyweight title defense against Alexandre Pantoja the biggest in the division's history? Let's discuss.
UFC 331 is set to return to Los Angeles, bringing a high-profile one-two punch to the Crypto.com Arena. The 24-year-old flyweight champion Joshua Van is set to defend his title against Alexandre Pantoja, hoping to prove that his first fight with Pantoja was no fluke. Meanwhile, Arman Tsarukyan will be making his return in a compelling co-main event against Mauricio Ruffy, a fighter known for his powerful striking. As the UFC returns to this month's roundtable, fans are left with several burning questions.
1. Is Van-Pantoja the biggest flyweight title fight in history? Both Petesy Carroll and Chuck Mindenhall argue that this bout could be the most significant flyweight title fight in UFC history, thanks to the contrasting personalities and styles of Van and Pantoja. While Carroll finds it hard to compare the interest and magnitude of this fight to previous title bouts, Mindenhall believes it is comparable to the Johnson-Cejudo rematch and may even be bigger due to the stacked nature of the current flyweight division.
