UFC 323 goes down at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas on December 6th and today, we learned about some big time fights that are going down on the card. Dana White took to social media this afternoon and announced the final PPV card of 2025.
In the co-main event, flyweight champion and P4P great Alexandre Pantoja (30-5) will be taking on top contender Joshua Van (15-2). Pantoja will be going for his fifth successful title defense when these two clash in December.
Starting with the challenger, Van has the ability to solidify himself as fighter of the year should he pull the upset and dethrone Pantoja in December. After winning his first three UFC fights, Van lost to Charles Johnson last July.
Since his first loss, he’s gone 5-0 including winning all three of his fights here in 2025. Back in June, Van stopped Bruno Silva. Just a few weeks later, he stepped in on short notice to defeat Brandon Royval and become the number one contender.
That same night at UFC 317, Pantoja completely dominated and submitted Kai Kara-France in his fourth title defense. Pantoja continues to get better and better with each title defense. He’s climbed up the P4P rankings for good reason and he will be the big betting favorite when these two fight in December.
Pantoja has won eight fights in a row and his wins feature KKF, Kai Asakura, Steve Erceg, Brandon Moreno, Manel Kape, and Brandon Rovyal (twice).
