UFC 331 took place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The main event saw UFC flyweight champion Joshua Van defend his belt against former champion Alexandre Pantoja. This rematch at 125 pounds was highly anticipated. Pantoja lost his title to Van in December 2025 due to an early arm injury.

The lightweight division might see significant changes after UFC 331. Arman Tsarukyan faces Mauricio Ruffy in the co-main event.

This fight offers one fighter a chance to boost their claim for a title shot while hindering the other's progress towards the lightweight championship.
