On To the Next One: Matches To Make After UFC 331 | MMA Fighting

#UFC331 delivered one of the best fight cards of 2026, and in the main event, #JoshuaVan defeated Alexandre Pantoja in their highly anticipated rematch in an incredible five-round battle, while #ArmanTsarukyan earned himself a shot at #JustinGaethje and the lightweight title with a brutal knockout of Mauricio Ruffy. Is everything 100 percent locked in, or could a couple of curve balls come their way?

On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what could be next for Van and Tsarukyan after their big wins to close the show at UFC 331. Future matchups are also discussed for Patricio Pitbull following his knockout win over Doo Ho Choi, Sean Sharaf after he career-altering 12-second destruction of Gable Steveson, along with fellow main card winner Iwo Baraniewski, and more.
