This is an Open Scoring MMA News Alert.

UFC 331 keeps generating headlines days after the final horn, with fallout stretching from a broken unbeaten streak to a title defense fought through injury.

Iwo Baraniewski's perfect record is gone. The Polish knockout artist had been 9-0 heading into UFC 331 on Saturday night, but he dropped a split decision to Alonzo Menifield, the first loss of his career. Our Elo model has him at 1584, built from just four bouts, and Baraniewski addressed the defeat directly, telling Bloody Elbow, "My first professional loss, but not my first in life."

Flyweight champion Joshua Van, meanwhile, revealed he fought through a torn AC joint in his second title defense at UFC 331. Van still got the job done, taking a unanimous decision over Alexandre Pantoja on Saturday, and our numbers have him at 1605 Elo across eleven fights. The injury has fans talking, with a thread on r/MMA digging into how much the shoulder problem affected his camp heading into the fight.

There's also a redemption story out of the same card. Sean Strickland revealed that his teammate Sean Sharaf had been sleeping on the floor just weeks before UFC 331, going through a rough stretch outside the cage. Sharaf answered emphatically, stopping Gable Steveson with a first round knockout in just twelve seconds. Dricus du Plessis is the former UFC Middleweight Champion, and Sean Strickland is the two-time UFC middleweight champion, coming off a split decision win over Khamzat Chimaev back in May, and rates 1548 on our Elo across nine fights.

On the regulatory side, Sherdog reports that California State Athletic Commission executive director Andy Foster has been discussing potential rule changes to the sport in the aftermath of UFC 331, a sign that the commission is paying close attention to what played out over the weekend.
