UFC 331 Van vs Pantoja 2 – Start time in USA, UK, India, Australia & more
(Courtesy : UFC)
Joshua Van puts his flyweight title on the line against Alexandre Pantoja in an immediate rematch.
UFC 331 Van vs Pantoja 2 goes down at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, marking the promotion’s first visit to the city since UFC 227 in 2018.
Flyweight champion Joshua Van defends his belt against the man he won it from, former titleholder Alexandre Pantoja, in a rematch of their UFC 323 clash that ended in just 26 seconds after an arm injury halted Pantoja’s night. This time, both men get a full five rounds to settle it.
The co-main event carries its own stakes, with Arman Tsarukyan and Mauricio Ruffy meeting over five rounds for a shot at the lightweight No. 1 contender spot.
The card lost a fight during fight week after Brian Ortega’s bout with Renato Moicano was pulled due to injury, which bumped every remaining main card fight up a slot.
That’s also pushed UFC Fight Pass’s usual start pattern back by half an hour to account for the shorter night, so it’s worth double-checking the listing with your specific broadcaster.
Here’s a full breakdown of start times for UFC 331: Van vs Pantoja 2 across the USA, UK, India, Australia and beyond.
