LAS VEGAS – Joshua Van isn’t asking for a specific opponent or date for his next fight at UFC 310. He just wants to represent his country.
Following his unanimous decision win over Cody Durden (17-7-1 MMA, 6-5-1 UFC) in their flyweight bout this past Saturday at T-Mobile Arena, Van (12-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) declared his hopes for the UFC to finally get his Myanmar flag approved, which is something he’s wanted since making his promotional debut.
“No, it’s not the UFC – some member has to approve it,” Van told MMA Junkie and other reporters post-fight at UFC 310. “But they had to approve my flag that it is a country, so Myanmar is a country. So I really want to carry my flag inside the octagon, so we’re just waiting for them to confirm it. We’ve been trying to get my flag (approved) ever since I got to the UFC, so hopefully by my next fight I get to carry my own flag.”
