All right, guys, guys, shut up. All right, guys. Hey, UFC 331 just wrapped, and I'm having to deal with Miles because Arsenal got beat today 3-0 by Brighton and Hovabian, which is so ridiculous, but it's okay. I was able to recover because I had a great night of fights here at the Crypto.com Arena. My post-fight reaction video is brought to you by Total Wireless, the official mobile provider of UFC 331. Real UFC fans need wireless 5G data that won't tap out. UFC fans need real unlimited. Tonight belonged to Joshua Vann.
This young man is 24 years old. Guys, forget about my shirt.
How did Joshua Van defend his flyweight title against Alexandre Pantoja?
I brought a shirt that was too small when I was fighting 205, so I ended up wearing a polo under my suit all night. But I actually kind of liked it, so maybe that's going to be my new look. But the night belonged to Joshua Vann. That young man is so talented. All week, many thought he was a little bit disrespectful towards Pantoja. All week, people said he was kind of cocky and arrogant. I don't see why he wouldn't be. He's a young kid, 24 years old. He's the world champion, and he's just getting better every time he steps inside the octagon. Tonight, he was defending takedowns, and when he got taken down, he did a great job of making sure he took no damage. He made one mistake. He gave his back in the second round, I believe.
or into the third, his corner was like, don't give you back, don't give you back. They had him so well prepared that there were a couple times in the fourth round where he got taken down, and he looked like he was about to give it back, and he went back to the underhook. He just keeps getting better. There was a question on the weigh-in show. Was the time for Pantoja to beat Joshua Vann in their first fight? Is it too late now? It was too late. That was proven without a shadow of a doubt because the judges scored the fight. Two of them, 49-46, 4-1 Van and 1-5-0 for Joshua Van. He is improving every single time he steps inside of the octagon. His boxing is amazing. His wrestling is improving and getting better every time.
And we're always surprised at the jumps that he is making. But again, he's so young. When you're young, you don't jump 1%, 1%, 1%. You're seeing 10%, 5%, 8%. He is jumping exponentially every time he stepped beside the octagon, and tonight he showed that. And Pantoja fought his tail off.
Why is Joshua Van considered a rising star despite the controversy?
But there just was no way he was going to win that fight tonight. And I think what was most impressive was round number five, where Joshua Vann just big-dogged it. He was like, yo, I'm the champion. I have to win this round because we think it's 2-2. He dominated that round. He was on the gas the whole time, hurt Pantoja, and almost finished him. I don't know that I've ever seen Joshua Vann fight better. And I can only say that I'd imagine the next time he gets to the octagon, he's going to fight better. My guess is he's going to fight Manel Cobb. He has been through now all the grapplers in the division. So he will not have to deal with that threat. The one area that Manel possesses that most don't is Manel has the power to knock him out.
