Pantoja Confronts Van at UFC 331 Press Conference
During the UFC 331 press conference on Friday, Alexandre Pantoja charged towards Joshua Van, prompting Dana White and security to intervene and restrain him.
The altercation occurred after Van interrupted Pantoja, urging him to concentrate on their upcoming rematch on September 19 rather than discussing his past in the division. Pantoja responded with a warning to Van, who then challenged him, leading to Pantoja standing up and approaching the champion before being held back.
This confrontation is rooted in their previous encounter at UFC 323 last December, which ended prematurely due to Pantoja's injury. Van has since defended his title, while Pantoja has recovered from his injury. The rematch is set to take place at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
