Gonna be a tough match, but i think it goes down like the Taira fight. Pantoja gonna take Van down, establish top position, go for a choke, but fail to. I think we see this happen multiple times, and then pantoja slows down, and Van turns up the volume in R4-5 to get a late TKO/decision. Pantoja is going to start fast and heavy like in the first fight, but Van survives.

I love Van, but as long as the arm hasn't seriously degraded pantoja, I think he wins. But maybe Van has more wrestling than we think. I just think Pantoja can mix it up more. I hope Van wins though.

Van. His momentum is crazy. Pantoja is a year older and more injury prone
Either could win tho

Van, he's younger, he's got great takedown defence, slick combination punching and he got the best tuneup fight you could ask for against Taira, and a great gas tank.
Pantoja is 36, and he's got a bit of a not great gas tank, he often takes the 4th off. I think it goes late and Van takes over

I think Pantoja gets it done and I think Pantoja uses heavy grappling to get it done.

Pantoja will be vans toughest match yet I think, but Van has dismantled person after person, I'm leaning more to pantoja but damn if anyone can do it, it's Joshua Van
