Joshua Van currently holds the UFC flyweight title after his first-round TKO victory over Alexandre Pantoja at UFC 323 in December 2025, a result clouded by Pantoja’s early elbow injury. The immediate rematch headlining UFC 331 on September 19 gives both fighters near-equal implied probability in the market, with Van’s youth, fifth-round TKO defense against Tatsuro Taira in May 2026, and momentum balanced against Pantoja’s experience and redemption narrative. Manel Kape’s recent knockout streak and the division’s overall depth create realistic paths for further title shifts before year’s end, keeping the race between the two frontrunners extremely competitive.
