UFC 331 is set to headline the weekend with a highly anticipated flyweight championship bout. Joshua Van will defend his title against seasoned challenger Alexandre Pantoja. Van enters the fight with a 17‑2‑0 record, including nine wins by knockout or technical knockout, while Pantoja brings a 30‑6‑0 record highlighted by twelve submissions and eight knockouts.
Betting promotion from Caesars Sportsbook
Caesars Sportsbook is encouraging new users to place a $1 wager on the Van‑Pantoja matchup by offering a 100% profit boost token. To claim the boost, bettors must enter the promo code FOXNEWSDYW when signing up. The promotion applies to the first bet placed on the fight and is limited to one token per new account.
The profit boost token effectively doubles the bettor’s winnings on the qualifying wager. For example, a $10 bet that wins would return $20 in profit, in addition to the original stake. The offer is available only while odds remain unchanged and may be withdrawn at any time, so interested bettors should act promptly.
Fight background
Van’s recent performances have been impressive, with back‑to‑back knockout victories, including a recent win over Pantoja that secured his championship. Pantoja, twelve years older, relies heavily on his Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu expertise, having secured his last two victories via submission. He has not fought since December 6, 2025, when he lost the title to Van.
Analysts describe the contest as a “tight matchup,” noting that both fighters bring contrasting styles—Van’s striking power versus Pantoja’s grappling proficiency. The outcome remains uncertain, making it an attractive option for both casual fans and seasoned bettors.
How to place the bet
To take advantage of the promotion, follow these steps:
- Visit the Caesars Sportsbook website or download the mobile app.
- Create a new account and provide the promo code FOXNEWSDYW during registration.
- Deposit the minimum required amount (typically $10) to fund the account.
- Navigate to the UFC 331 event page and select the Van vs. Pantoja fight.
- Place a $1 wager on either fighter; the profit boost token will be applied automatically.
Odds are subject to change, and the promotion is only valid for the first qualifying bet. Bettors should review the full terms and conditions on the Caesars Sportsbook platform before wagering.
