Joshua Van is the young UFC flyweight champion from Myanmar, a breakout star whose relentless volume and pace overwhelm opponents under a constant barrage of strikes. One of the busiest and youngest fighters on the roster, he rocketed up the rankings on the strength of his cardio and non-stop output.
He capped that meteoric climb by beating dominant champion Alexandre Pantoja in 2025 to win the title, then defended it against Tatsuro Taira to prove his reign was real. With wins over names like Brandon Royval and Rei Tsuruya already on his resume, Van has become one of the sport's most exciting young champions - a fighter who simply never stops throwing.
Why fans love Van
His incredible pace, volume and youthful rise to champion make him one of the most exciting and likeable stars in the sport.
