UFC 331 Live Updates, Highlights and Results

Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja are finally going to settle their score.

The two flyweights first met in late 2025, in a fight that saw Van take the division's title after Pantoja suffered a fluke arm injury less than 30 seconds into the first round. Tonight, in the main event of UFC 331 in Los Angeles, they will finally run it back, with flyweight gold once again on the line.

The UFC 331 co-main event is also a huge fight, as Arman Tsarukyan takes on Mauricio Ruffy at lightweight. Both men are among the top contenders in the division, and could conceivably set themselves up for a title shot in victory. That's particularly true in the case of Tsarukyan, who arguably should have already had that opportunity.

Tonight's card features plenty of other exciting matchups. The main card will be highlighted by a fan-friendly bantamweight clash between Patricio "Pitbull" Freire and "The Korean Superboy" Doo Ho Choi. It will also include the latest appearances from unbeaten prospects Iwo Baraniewski and Gable Steveson, who will take on on Alonzo Menifield at light heavyweight and Sean Sharaf at heavyweight respectively. The undercard, finally, will feature an awesome bantamweight matchup between Charles Jourdain and Marlon Vera, a heavyweight scrap between Tai Tuivasa and Robelis Despaign, and appearances from fighters like Edmen Shahbazyan, Casey O'Neill, and Giga Chikadze.

It will all kick off at 5:30 pm ET, with the main card beginning at 9:00.

As always, B/R will have you covered with complete results and highlights of all the action in Los Angeles.

UFC 331: Van v Pantoja 2 - Ceremonial Weigh-in

UFC 331 is officially underway.

In a few minutes, we'll get to the first fight of the night: a featherweight clash between Brazil's Joanderson Brito (19-5-1) and Georgia's Giga Chikadze (15-6).

Brito is riding back-to-back wins, and most recently submitted Jordan Leavittโ€”quite a feather in his cap. Chikadze was once one of the top featherweights in the sport, however, he's currently riding three straight losses to Arnold Allens, David Onama, and Kevin Vallejosโ€”the latter being a vicious KO. Still, his presence in the first bout of the night speaks to the depth of this card. It wasn't that long ago that he was headlining Fight Nights.

It's Almost Showtime!

UFC 331 will kick off in a little over 10 minutes. Here's what's on the docket for the evening.

Looks like it could be a pretty darn good night of fights!
