Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja are set to run things back.

On Saturday, Van and Pantoja meet in a flyweight title rematch in the main event of UFC 331 in Los Angeles.

Topics discussed include where Pantoja can reclaim his title or if #VanLife is here to stay, Arman Tsarukyan’s precarious position against Mauricio Ruffy, Patricio Pitbull and Doo Ho Choi banging it out, the rest of the undercard, The Climb, and more.
