Petr Yan stunned Merab Dvalishvili with a dominating effort to capture the bantamweight championship by unanimous decision at UFC 323 on Saturday night1 DAY AGO • Associated Press
Injury leads to loss of title Pantoja lost the UFC Flyweight Championship on Saturday, falling to Joshua Van via TKO (injury) at 0:26 of Round 1 at UFC 323 in Las Vegas.
Impact An absolute crushing set of circumstances for the 35-year-old now former champion. Pantoja threw a head kick just seconds into the fight which Van blocked. As Pantoja fell to the mat in an attempt to brace himself, his arm appeared to snap near the elbow. It was a graphic injury that was difficult to watch upon replay. The Brazilian entered having won eight in a row and was without a setback dating back to July 2020. Pantoja will almost certainly be thrust right back into a title fight upon returning to full health, but this had the look of a long-term ailment.

Another easy title defense Pantoja successfully defended the UFC Flyweight Championship on Saturday, defeating Kai Kara-France via submission (rear-naked choke) at 1:55 of Round 3 at UFC 317 in Las Vegas.
Impact It was a dominant win from the champion, who was in control the entire way. Seemingly not worried about the power of Kara-France, Pantoja remained aggressive on the feet, forcing his way into three successful takedowns on six attempts. KKF defended well for a while, but Pantoja was able to slip an arm under the neck early in Round 3 and the fight was over seconds later. It was Pantoja's fourth successful title defense and his eighth straight win overall. He hasn't lost a fight since July 2020. Next up for the Brazilian is Joshua Van, who took a war from Brandon Royval earlier in the evening. The UFC brought Van into the octagon to go toe-to-toe with Pantoja following the fight, so that matchup would appear to be a done deal.
