New UFC flyweight champion Joshua Van does not believe Alexandre Pantoja's hand injury in their title fight was accidental or lucky. Van explained that Pantoja threw an early leg kick, which made Van cautious about being hit again. When Pantoja attempted another kick, Van caught it and pushed him, resulting in Pantoja breaking his hand at that moment. Van expressed interest in a rematch with Pantoja but stated he won't wait indefinitely while the former champion recovers. The new champion emphasized his desire to remain active and fight through the division's top contenders.
