UFC flyweight champion Joshua Van and former titleholder Alexandre Pantoja are set to face the media on Wednesday afternoon as UFC 331 holds its pre-fight media day, two days before the pair clash in the main event of Saturday’s card.

The session runs through the afternoon, with the full main card and the top preliminary bout all scheduled to take questions. Pantoja is slated to speak at 4:45 p.m. ET, with Van closing out the fighter availability at 6 p.m. ET.

The rematch between Van and Pantoja is the centrepiece of UFC 331, with Van defending the flyweight title he holds against the man who previously held it. The co-main event features a significant lightweight contest as Arman Tsarukyan takes on Mauricio Ruffy, with both fighters also scheduled to address media — Ruffy at 4:30 p.m. ET and Tsarukyan at 5:30 p.m. ET.

The full tentative schedule for the media day also includes Charles Jourdain at 2:15 p.m. ET, Sean Sharaf at 2:30 p.m., Iwo Baraniewski at 3 p.m., Doo Ho Choi at 3:15 p.m., Patricio Pitbull at 5 p.m., Gable Steveson at 5:15 p.m., Alonzo Minefield at 5:45 p.m., and Chito Vera at 6:30 p.m.
