Joshua Van vs. Alexandre Pantoja 2, Arman Tsarukyan vs. Mauricio Ruffy set as full UFC 331 card revealed

The UFC has finalized the full card for UFC 331, taking place on September 19 in Los Angeles, headlined by a flyweight title rematch between Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja.

Van claimed the flyweight throne after Pantoja suffered a freak injury in their first encounter in 2025—a dislocated arm forced the fight to be stopped in the opening round. Van has since made one successful title defense against Tatsuro Taira in May, a performance many consider a Fight of the Year candidate. The rematch will settle questions about the legitimacy of Van's reign.

In the co-main event, Arman Tsarukyan faces Mauricio Ruffy in a lightweight collision with major title implications. Tsarukyan, widely regarded as the UFC's top lightweight contender, returns after a dominant stretch that saw him rack up wins over Charles Oliveira, Beneil Dariush, and Dan Hooker to extend his win streak to five fights. Ruffy brings momentum of his own, coming off a dominant performance against Michael Chandler at the UFC White House card that extended his winning streak to three.
