Joshua Van is the reigning UFC flyweight champion and, at just 24, one of the fastest-rising stars in the sport. Born in Hakha, Myanmar and now fighting out of Houston's 4oz Fight Club, he became the first fighter from Myanmar to sign with the UFC and the promotion's first Asian-born male champion. He claimed the belt at UFC 323 when a scramble left Alexandre Pantoja injured just 26 seconds into their first meeting, then made his first defense a statement, stopping Tatsuro Taira in the fifth round at UFC 328. Nine of his 17 pro wins have come by knockout, and he has shown he can grind out rounds as well as finish.
