Joshua Van doesn't appear to be one to ever turn down a fight.

One of the most active members of the roster, Van (13-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) returns for what will be his fifth promotional bout in 11 months as he faces Bruno Silva (14-6-2 MMA, 4-3 UFC) at UFC 316. The event takes place June 7 at UFC 316, expected for Prudential Center in Newark, N.J..

Both fighters recently confirmed the booking on social media after an initial report by Eurosport NL.

Van, 23, enters his 16th pro fight since his professional debut in October 2021. Outside of a TKO loss to Charles Johnson, he's been perfect. He enters UFC 316 on a three-fight winning streak that includes victories over Edgar Chairez, Cody Durden, and Rei Tsuruya.

Silva, 35, won four straight fights prior to a December TKO loss to Manel Kape. UFC victories include JP Buys, Victor Rodriguez, Tyson Nam, and Cody Durden.

With the addition, the UFC 316 lineup now includes:

• Azamat Murzakanov vs. Johnny Walker
• Bruno Silva vs. Joshua Van
