Joshua Van | Time To Complete The Takeover
“If it goes as planned, 2025 is the takeover year. We’re going to stay busy just like we did this year, maybe busier. I want to stay as active as possible.”
That is what Joshua Van told the late Thomas Gerbasi last December, ahead of his fight with Cody Durden at UFC 310. Still just 23 years old at the time, the flyweight prospect was only a couple months removed from defeating Edgar Chairez at Noche UFC, readying for his fourth fight of the 2024 and sixth trip into the Octagon since debuting 18 months earlier.
There is no way he could have known how prophetic his words would turn out to be, but with a victory on Saturday night at UFC 323, Van can fully take over the flyweight division.

UFC 323 full fight: Joshua Van puts on Fight of the Year contender
Joshua Van's last trip to the octagon was a memorable one.
Back in June at UFC 317, Van took on top contender Brandon Royval on short notice. Despite not being under ideal circumstances, Van went to war with Royval, winning a $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus, putting on a Fight of the Year contender, and more importantly, securing the biggest win of his career.
You can watch Van's wild win over Royval in the video above.
Van (15-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) returns to the cage this Saturday in the co-main event of UFC 323 (pay-per-view, ESPN2/FX/Disney+, ESPN+) – which takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. He challenges champion Alexandre Pantoja (30-5 MMA, 14-3 UFC) for the UFC flyweight title.
