Joshua Van denies Pantoja injury was luck, wants rematch

Joshua Van does not consider Alexandre Pantoja's injury in their fight to be a coincidence or luck. Van explained that he expected a tough fight because Pantoja is very aggressive, and after Pantoja landed a low kick, Van caught Pantoja's leg on the next attempt, pushed him, and that's when Pantoja broke his arm. Van stated he wants a rematch with Pantoja but won't wait indefinitely while Pantoja recovers. He emphasized his desire to be an active champion and wants to move forward to the next opponent if necessary. The injury occurred early in what was expected to be a highly aggressive contest.
