On Saturday night, the Ultimate Fighting Championship heads back to Los Angeles for UFC 331.

UFC 331 Props, Odds & Picks
Van vs. Pantoja: Headline Event to Go the Way of “Fearless”
Just nine months after their first fight, Van and Pantoja meet again. The first battle lasted just 26 seconds – as Pantoja lost by TKO after suffering an arm injury – so the pair have unfinished business.
Van is the man in form, claiming seven wins from his last seven fights since losing to Charles Johnson in July 2024. Overall, “Batman” has won 17 and suffered just two losses in 19 pro bouts.
Pantoja is a record-breaker in the UFC Flyweight division, and Saturday’s clash with Van will be the 36-year-old’s 37th pro fight. He may not have too many left, so “The Cannibal” will love the opportunity to get revenge over Van this Saturday.
Pantoja has experience on his side, but Van is younger and will be tough to topple at the Crypto.com Arena. Going by BetMGM’s latest UFC betting odds, Van is the -140 favorite to claim the win.
Pantoja will be no pushover, but the UFC Flyweight Champion should have enough to get the job done in the City of Angels. We like the look of +350 for Van to win on points.
Our Prediction: Joshua Van to Win on Points – +350, BetMGM
Tsarukyan vs. Ruffy: “Batman” to Beat “One Shot”
The co-main event sees Arman Tsarukyan and Mauricio Ruffy lock horns in the Lightweight division. Tsarukyan is hoping to make it six wins in a row to take his record to 24-3.
“Batman” is in excellent shape, winning ten of his last 11 fights since losing to Islam Makhachev in 2019. According to BetMGM’s latest odds, Tsarukyan is the strong -350 favorite, while Ruffy is the big underdog at +275.
The Brazilian bounced back with victories over Rafael Fiziev and Michael Chandler after the face-crank submission loss to Benoit Saint Denis in Paris last September. However, getting the better of Tsarukyan will be a tall order.
Tsarukyan is searching for his 24th UFC victory this weekend, and he could be too hot to handle for the 30-year-old. Check out the good odds of +175 for the Armenian-Russian to win by KO/TKO or DQ.
Our Prediction: Arman Tsarukyan to Win by KO/TKO or DQ – +175, BetMGM
Up To $1500 in Bonus Bets Paid Back if your First Bet Does Not Win Steveson vs. Sharaf: Former WWE Star to Win Heavyweight Clash
The heavyweight battle between Gable Steveson and Sean Sharaf looks like a mismatch on paper. Steveson, a former WWE wrestler, is hunting for a fifth win in five UFC matches.
It has been quite a year for Steveson. He made his UFC debut in September 2025, defeating Braden Peterson by TKO (punches). TKO and KO victories have followed against Kevin Hein, Hugo Lezama, and Elisha Ellison.
Sean Sharaf has a 4-2-0 UFC record, losing to Junior Tafa and Steven Asplund in his last two. The May bout against Tai Tuivasa was cancelled, so this will be the 33-year-old’s first fight since last December.
As well as starring in WWE and Real American Freestyle Wrestling, Steveson signed a professional deal with Buffalo Bills in NFL in 2024. The 26-year-old from Indiana has been a busy man since debuting in the UFC, and he should keep up his winning run with ease on Saturday night.
There is good value in +575 for Steveson to win in round two.
Our Prediction: Gable Steveson to Win in Round Two – +575, BetMGM
