Joshua Van denies Pantoja injury was luck, wants rematch but won't wait

Joshua Van has stated he does not believe Alexandre Pantoja's injury during their fight was accidental or lucky. Van explained that Pantoja threw a low kick immediately, and when he attempted another kick, Van caught the leg and pushed him, which is when Pantoja broke his arm. Van expressed interest in a rematch with Pantoja once he recovers from the injury, but emphasized he does not plan to wait indefinitely. The new champion stated his intention to remain an active champion and continue fighting through the division rather than sitting idle waiting for Pantoja's return.
