UFC flyweight champion Joshua Van has given his thoughts on Alexandre Pantoja’s freak injury that he suffered at UFC 323.

In the co-main event of UFC 323, Joshua Van became the new king of the flyweight division at just 24 years of age. However, the manner in which he did it was something of an anti-climax, as Pantoja fell on his arm and suffered a nasty-looking injury that rendered him unable to continue.

As you can imagine, the attention has turned to Joshua Van vs Alexandre Pantoja in a potential rematch down the line. Before that, though, Tatsuro Taira could well be in line for a shot of his own given that he was able to defeat and finish Brandon Moreno on the UFC 323 main card.
