Minutes after his UFC 317 win over Kai Kara-France, Pantoja (30-5 MMA, 14-3 UFC) was quite literally faced with his next opponent. Into the cage at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas walked Joshua Van, who defeated Brandon Royval in a thrilling title eliminator just one fight prior.

Alexandre Pantoja's UFC 317 victory was more than just a title defense; it was a moral victory not shared by any other flyweight in promotional history.

The biggest MMA event of the summer is here as UFC is back in Las Vegas to celebrate International Fight Week. The promotion caps off an incredible week in Sin City on Saturday night with UFC 317, which is headlined by a pair of big title fights.
