Joshua Van, the reigning UFC flyweight champion, has arrived in Washington, D.C. ahead of the UFC White House weekend, signaling his participation in the marquee event's planned activities.

Van, nicknamed "The Fearless," is one of the most dynamic champions in the UFC roster at just 24 years old. The Myanmar-born fighter carries a 17-2-0 professional record and trains out of 4oz. Fight Club. Standing five-foot-five with a 65-inch reach, Van has established himself as a force in the flyweight division through relentless offensive output, landing an extraordinary 8.84 significant strikes per minute at 56 percent accuracy — numbers that rank among the most prolific in the sport regardless of weight class.
