Recall that yesterday at UFC 323, Pantoja lost prematurely to Van. At the beginning of the first round, the Brazilian suffered a broken hand after an unfortunate fall and could not continue the fight.
"Now I am the world champion, but unfortunately, the fight ended this way. But I want to meet again as soon as Pantoja is recovered. We will fight again.
Yes, of course, whatever UFC wants, I will do it, but Alexandre deserves a rematch, he has achieved a lot in our division. I consider him the best in history, so surely, he deserves a rematch," Van stated.
