"Everything happens for a reason, and now I'm 100% ready to go. I get a better poster as well, so that's a bonus."
"Shout out to Hunter and the UFC for rescheduling it a lot sooner."
"This is not the first time I've fought a guy that was born in the 2000s. This is the second time, it just happens to be so that we're fighting for a title."
"Yeah for sure. This is the first time two Asian males fight for a title, right? So yeah for sure."
Joshua Van will defend his flyweight title against Tatsuro Taira at UFC 328 after an injury postponed the fight from UFC 327. Van expressed readiness and gratitude for the rescheduling. He won the title against Alexandre Pantoja last year. This matchup marks the first UFC title fight featuring two fighters born in the 2000s, highlighting a significant moment for the Asian community in the sport. Van believes this fight is historic for Asian representation in UFC title bouts.
