At the UFC 331 weigh-ins, all 24 fighters on Saturday’s UFC fight card step on the scale Friday morning in Los Angeles. Watch MMA Fighting’s live stream of the official weigh-ins above.
In the main event, Joshua Van defends his flyweight title in a rematch against longtime champion Alexandre Pantoja. The two first fought at UFC 323 this past December, when Pantoja was looking to secure his fifth successful title defense. Unfortunately for the Brazilian star, he suffered an arm injury just 26 seconds into the contest, forcing him to relinquish his belt to Van.
In Pantoja’s absence, Van recorded one successful defense, defeating Tatsuro Taira in a Fight of the Year candidate at UFC 328. On Saturday, Van and Pantoja finally settle the score.
Both fighters need to weigh 125 pounds or less for the title fight.
In the five-round co-main event, lightweight contenders Arman Tsarukyan and Mauricio Ruffy go to battle with a potential championship opportunity on the line. Both fighters need to weigh 156 pounds or less for the non-title fight.
The UFC 331 official weigh-ins kick off above at 12 a.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT.
