Alexandre Pantoja | Viva Las Vegas

UFC flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja has enjoyed a great deal of success at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where he meets Joshua Van this weekend in the co-main event of UFC 323.

After ping-ponging around the globe to begin his time on the roster, six of the Brazilian’s last eight outings have come in the epicenter of the sport, with the last four coming at the venue that hosts Saturday’s final numbered event of 2025. He won the title there in the summer of 2023, edging out Brandon Moreno in an ultra-competitive battle that still sparks debates, and has since earned three of his four successful title defenses in the home of the Golden Knights.
