Arman Tsarukyan's return opponent reportedly changed 24 hours before UFC 331 announcement
- On Wednesday, the UFC announced the lineup for UFC 331, taking place September 19 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, featuring a flyweight title rematch between Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja.
- Van claimed the 125-pound championship against Pantoja at UFC 323 in December via TKO after Pantoja suffered an elbow injury, prompting Van to request the rematch to silence doubts about his champion status.
- Co-Headlining the event, Arman Tsarukyan faces Mauricio Ruffy in a five-round lightweight bout, with Tsarukyan positioned as one of the UFC's biggest stars and Ruffy considered a dangerous new title prospect.
- Gable Steveson will make his second UFC appearance against Sean Sharaf, who holds an 0-2 record, while confirmed bouts also feature Renato Moicano versus Brian Ortega and Ryan Gandra versus Ozzy Diaz.
- Tsarukyan remains a top title prospect with a 23-3 record and should have the chance to compete for a lightweight belt in the near future, pending his performance against Ruffy.
