UFC 310, scheduled for December 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, features Belal Muhammad defending his welterweight title against Shavkat Rakhmonov and Alexandre Pantoja defending his flyweight title against Kai Asakura, with additional notable fights including Nick Diaz vs. Vicente Luque and Ciryl Gane vs. Alexander Volkov.
Belal Muhammad is set to defend his welterweight title for the first time against Shavkat Rakhmonov. This showdown will headline UFC 310 on Dec. 7 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
In the co-main event, Alexandre Pantoja will put his flyweight belt on the line. He faces Kai Asakura, a former RIZIN champion making his octagon debut with a shot at glory right out of the gate.
Dana White, the UFC CEO, dropped this exciting news on Saturday. Fans are buzzing!
Muhammad’s journey back to the octagon follows a stellar performance against Leon Edwards last July. His road to the championship was paved with a ten-fight unbeaten streak.
Rakhmonov, meanwhile, enters this bout as an undefeated powerhouse. With an 18-0 record and a perfect finishing rate, he’s only seen the third round twice. Now, he aims to add Muhammad’s name to his list of conquests.
Pantoja returns for his third title defense after defeating Steve Erceg in May at UFC 301. Asakura presents a unique challenge with a 21-4 record, including 13 knockouts.
Asakura gets an unusual chance—fighting for a UFC title in his debut! He’s already made waves in Japan with wins over Kyoji Horiguchi and others.
Not just that—Nick Diaz is back! He’ll face Vicente Luque after their bout was postponed from August.
The card also features Ciryl Gane versus Alexander Volkov in a crucial heavyweight clash. Stakes are high!
Other matchups include Movsar Evloev against Aljamain Sterling and Anthony Smith taking on Dominick Reyes. Both bouts promise fireworks!
Mark your calendars: UFC 310 wraps up the year with its final pay-per-view event on Dec. 7 in Las Vegas. Don’t miss it!
