UFC 331 weigh-in results: Joshua Van, Alexandre Pantoja on point for championship rematch - MMA Fighting
The official weigh-ins for UFC 331 in Los Angeles saw all 24 fighters successfully make weight, setting the stage for Saturday's event. The main event features a highly anticipated flyweight title rematch between Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja, both hitting 125 pounds.
Why it matters
Successful weigh-ins confirm that all scheduled fights, including a significant title rematch and a lightweight title eliminator, will proceed as planned, building anticipation for the event among MMA fans.
Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja are just a day away from a rematch at UFC 331 that has been nine months in the making.
As they did ahead of UFC 323, Van and Pantoja both successfully made weight for their flyweight title fight at Friday’s official weigh-ins in Los Angeles. Pantoja was the second fighter overall (after only co-main event competitor Mauricio Ruffy) to step to the scale, coming in at 125 pounds, with Van later matching that weight.
Van won the title from Pantoja after their first fight ended in just 26 seconds when Pantoja suffered a freak arm injury. The long-reigning champion has been sidelined as he recovers from his injury, but now gets a chance to avenge his loss to Van, who authored a successful title defense over Tatsura Taira in Pantoja’s absence.
