Patricio Pitbull

Patricio Pitbull is fighting for his UFC career at UFC 331 in Los Angeles, where he faces Hall of Famer Doo Ho Choi on the undercard. The former two-division Bellator champion has not had his contract renewed despite having just one fight remaining on his deal — an unusual sign given that fighters the UFC intends to keep are typically renegotiated before their final bout. Pitbull holds a 1-2 UFC record since joining the promotion in 2025, with his most recent loss coming against Aaron Pico at UFC 327 in April.

Van, Pico, Ruffy+2

Alexandre Pantoja will get his rematch against flyweight champion Joshua Van in the UFC 331 main event at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on September 19. Arman Tsarukyan returns to face Mauricio Ruffy in the co-main event, with the winner potentially in line for a lightweight title shot against Justin Gaethje. The main card also features Patricio Pitbull vs. Doo Ho Choi, Renato Moicano vs. Brian Ortega, and Alonzo Menifield vs. Iwo Baraniewski.

Van, Ruffy, Gaethje+6

Patricio Pitbull extended his losing streak to four fights following a poor performance against 38-year-old Shoko Sato at a Rizin event. Having missed weight ahead of the bout, Pitbull was ineligible to win by decision under Rizin rules and needed a finish to avoid a losing outcome. He absorbed nearly every strike thrown at him and struggled badly in the grappling exchanges throughout the fight.
