PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - AUGUST 14: (L-R) Opponents Joshua Van of Myanmar and Alexandre Pantoja of Brazil face off during the UFC 331 press conference at Xfinity Mobile Arena on August 14, 2026 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) The UFC 331 pre-fight press conference kicks off at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT to hear from the main and co-main event fighters competing on Saturday’s event from Los Angeles. In the main event, Joshua Van looks to defend his UFC flyweight title and solidify his place as champion when he takes on Alexandre Pantoja, who attempts to win back the belt he lost when a freak injury ended his reign. There’s been a lot of bad blood between these two fighters ever since the first encounter ended so it’s likely these two are really gunning for the win in the rematch on Saturday. In the co-main event, Arman Tsarukyan seeks to solidify his position as the No. 1 contender for the belt when he faces off with Mauricio Ruffy. All the action starts at 8 pm. ET/ 5 p.m. PT and you can watch in the video embedded above!

Arman Tsarukyan and Mauricio Ruffy stayed respectful ahead of UFC 331. Gable Steveson and Sean Sharaf not so much.
