UFC Fighters Explain How Scary It Is To Fight Joshua Van

Joshua Van walked into Crypto.com Arena as a paper champion. He walked out as something the flyweight division has never seen before. Twenty-four years old. Born in Myanmar. Raised in a refugee camp. Called a fraud for nine straight months.

The doubters have officially run out of material. This is the story of why UFC fighters are terrified of Joshua Van.
