This weekend, Joshua Van will battle reigning UFC flyweight queen Alexandre Pantoja at UFC 323. When the 24 year old the octagonhe says he doesn’t have a game plan in mind because he believes that no matter how much you study your opponents on tape, it’s not effective as there’s a “completely different game” going on in the octagon.
However, ‘The Fearless’ will be willing to engage in both striking and wrestling bouts against ‘The Cannibal’ and will be looking to take him out in three rounds. During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Van said:
“I have to work on my defense and counters and stuff like that… I don’t have a game plan, to be honest. It’s wherever the fight goes, because you can make a game plan and stuff like that, but on the day of the fight it could be a completely different game… Whatever he brings, I’ll be ready for it. So if he wants to strike, we’ll strike; if he wants to go to the ground, I’ll be ready for that too… I’ll knock him out in three rounds.”

Alexandre Pantoja calls victory over Joshua Van “Easy Money”
Alexandre Pantoja, who has submitted four of his last seven UFC opponents, believes he can also submit Joshua Van this weekend. In a recent interview with Jaiden Cable, the UFC flyweight queen claimed that if he could bet on himself for the UFC323 title fight, he would go for a win. However, as per company policy, athletes and their teams are not allowed to place bets on UFC events. Pantoja said:
“If I could bet, but I can’t. Why not, submission, brother. Easy money. Thinking about guys in my last two fights, see the odds, Pantoja ending with a rear naked choke submission is free money, brother.”
