UFC flyweight contender Joshua Van doesn’t want there to be any kind of old vs young storyline attached to his upcoming showdown with Alexandre Pantoja.
In the co-main event of UFC 323, 24-year-old Joshua Van will challenge 35-year-old Alexandre Pantoja for the UFC flyweight championship. While fans and pundits alike are split regarding which way this one is going to go, there is a certain acknowledgement that there’s a real gulf in both experience and age between Van and Pantoja.
Right now, Pantoja is one of the most impressive champions in all of mixed martial arts, and that can’t be overlooked.
