Joshua Van sends message to Alexandre Pantoja: 'Go get some milk'
Joshua Van sends a message to Alexandre Pantoja ahead of their expected UFC title rematch.
NEWARK, N. J. – Joshua Van is a man of few words, but he does have some advice for his former foe Alexandre Pantoja .
Van and Pantoja fought in December when Pantoja was the defending UFC flyweight champion, and Van the challenger. The bout lasted less than 30 seconds. Pantoja suffered a bad arm injury when he tried to kick Van.
The kick was caught, and he was pushed back. As Pantoja tried to break his fall, his arm bent the wrong way. Saturday, Van (17-2 MMA, 10-1 UFC) defended the title he took from him against Tatsuro Taira (18-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) in the co-main event of UFC 328.
Van stopped Taira with a fifth-round TKO. He was the underdog in the fight to the challenger. Pantoja has been recovering and rehabbing his injury.
