UFC 331 LIVE: Joshua Van vs Alexandre Pantoja 2 start time, undercard, fight updates and results tonight

Ryan Gandra def. Ozzy Diaz via first-round knockout (punches, 2:04)

In the first regular prelim of the night, we just saw Gandra stop Diaz by swarming him with wild hooks, leading Diaz to drop against the fence and turtle up.

They weren’t the most-technical strikes from Gandra, but they overwhelmed Diaz, and the ref stepped in with Diaz defenceless on the mat.

Van – 8/11; Pantoja – 11/10

Tsarukyan – 1/3; Ruffy – 9/4

Pantoja, 36, has not fought since then, while Van, 24, retained the gold against Tatsuro Taira in May. In the eyes of many fans, the Myanmar native legitimised his title reign with that win, surviving great adversity to ultimately stop Taira in a fight of the year contender.
