Joshua Van dismisses luck narrative in Pantoja injury win, wants to stay active

New flyweight champion Joshua Van has rejected suggestions that Alexandre Pantoja's arm injury was mere luck or accident. Van explained that Pantoja threw an aggressive low kick immediately, and when he attempted a second kick, Van caught the leg and pushed him, resulting in the broken arm. Van expressed interest in a rematch with Pantoja once he heals, but emphasized he does not want to wait indefinitely. The new champion stated his desire to be an active titleholder and fight everyone in the division, signaling his readiness to move on to the next challenger if necessary. Van's comments suggest he views the injury as a direct result of the exchange rather than a fluke occurrence.
