Sooo ... About Last Night

UFC held UFC 331 on Sat., Sept. 19, 2026, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, headlined by Alexandre Pantoja returning after nearly a year off to face Joshua Van. In a five-round Flyweight title fight, Van ultimately retained his status as champion after a decisive knockdown in round five, winning a bout that remained competitive through all five rounds. The c0-main event was a high-stakes Lightweight matchup scheduled for five rounds: Arman Tsarukyan sought his first UFC title shot, but Mauricio Ruffy used his striking and takedown-defense preparation to win key exchanges. The event also featured bouts involving Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson and Polish puncher Iwo Baraniewki.
