UFC returns to Los Angeles for the first time since UFC 227 in 2018, setting up shop at the Crypto.com Arena for UFC 331: Van vs Pantoja 2.
Topping the bill is a rematch nobody saw finishing the way it did the first time around — flyweight champion Joshua Van defends his belt against the man he took it from, former titleholder Alexandre Pantoja.
Their first meeting at UFC 323 in December lasted just 26 seconds before an arm injury halted Pantoja’s offense and handed Van the title via TKO. Pantoja now gets the rematch he’s been chasing, this time looking to settle the score over a full five rounds.
The co-main event carries its own title implications, with Arman Tsarukyan and Mauricio Ruffy meeting over five rounds for a shot at the lightweight No. 1 contender spot.
Note: Brian Ortega’s lightweight bout with Renato Moicano was pulled from the card during fight week due to injury, trimming the lineup by one fight and moving every remaining main card bout up a slot.
UFC Fight Pass has adjusted its listed start time by half an hour to account for the shorter card — it’s worth double-checking the listing on your specific broadcaster.
If you’re wondering exactly when the action kicks off and where you can watch it, here’s everything you need to know.
