Van vs Pantoja 2 Breakdown & Picks | UFC 331

from Barnhill Brothers’ MMA Hosted by The Barnhill Brothers

Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja run it back for the UFC flyweight title at UFC 331, and we break down the matchup from every angle. We compare their striking, grappling, and intangibles, including Van’s high volume boxing, pressure, and durability against Pantoja’s well rounded striking, elite submission game, and ability to find the back. We also discuss Van’s improvements since becoming champion, Pantoja’s return from a serious shoulder injury, the massive experience and age gap between the two, Van’s path to keeping the fight on the feet, and give our final predictions for how the rematch plays out.
