UFC 331 weigh-in results: Joshua Van, Alexandre Pantoja on point for championship rematch

All 24 fighters successfully made weight Friday at UFC 331's official weigh-ins in Los Angeles, setting the stage for Saturday's card at Crypto.com Arena on Paramount+.
Flyweight champions Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja both hit 125 pounds exactly, confirming their title rematch nine months in the making. Van won their first meeting in shocking fashion when Pantoja suffered a freak arm injury just 26 seconds in. The current champion has since posted a successful title defense over Tatsuro Taira, while Pantoja has been recovering and now returns for a chance to reclaim his belt.
In the co-main event, lightweights Arman Tsarukyan (156) and Mauricio Ruffy (155) made weight for a five-round non-title bout billed as a title eliminator. The winner is expected to pursue a 2027 matchup with lightweight champion Justin Gaethje.
