Uncrowned has UFC 331 live results, round-by-round updates, highlights and start time for the Joshua Van vs. Alexandre Pantoja 2 fight card on Saturday night at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. UFC flyweight champion Joshua Van puts his title on the line in a much-anticipated rematch against former champ Alexandre Pantoja in the main event.
Van (17-2) and Pantoja (30-6) run it back nine months after their first meeting ended in just 26 seconds, with Pantoja suffering a freak arm injury to end his two-year reign. Van, Uncrowned's No. 10-ranked pound-for-pound fighter, has since cemented himself atop the flyweight division with a successful title defense over Tatsuro Taira, while Pantoja, our No. 2-ranked pound-for-pound fighter, returns for the first time since his injury.
In Saturday's five-round co-main event, lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan (23-3) faces Mauricio Ruffy (14-2) in a pivotal matchup at 155 pounds. Tsarukyan enters UFC 331 on a five-fight win streak and hopes another victory will finally secure his long-awaited first title shot, while Ruffy looks to score the biggest win of his career and vault himself into championship contention.
UFC 331 starts at 5:30 p.m. ET with the early preliminary card, followed by the preliminary card at 7 p.m. ET and the five-fight main card at 9 p.m. ET. The entire event streams live on Paramount+, with the early prelims also available on UFC Fight Pass.
