Alexandre Pantoja vs. Kai Asakura

The main event will see Alexandre Pantoja attempt to defend his flyweight belt for the third time when he meets former RIZIN star Kai Asakura in the latter fighter’s promotional debut.

Asakura’s championship success in his native Japan encouraged the UFC to throw him straight into a world title fight against Pantoja, and “The Cannibal” will look to add another massive name to his already-impressive list of wins when the pair square off in Las Vegas.

The co-main event is a five-round welterweight title eliminator fight between undefeated talents Shavkat Rakhmonov and Ian Machado Garry.

Rakhmonov was originally scheduled to challenge Belal Muhammad for the welterweight belt at UFC 310 before “Remember the Name” withdrew from the event, and now “Nomad” will take on another undefeated fighter in Machado Garry with a title shot on the line.

The main card also features a possible heavyweight title eliminator between Ciryl Gane and Alexander Volkov, plus a pair of huge featherweight bouts with Bryce Mitchell taking on Kron Gracie and Nate Landwehr set to kick off the PPV against Doo Ho Choi.

The UFC 310 prelims include a featured bout between former light heavyweight title challengers Anthony Smith and Dominick Reyes as well as former UFC Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Sterling against the undefeated Movsar Evloev, and fans won’t want to miss any of the action leading up to the night’s stacked main card.

Bryan Battle was the only fighter to miss weight ahead of UFC 310. His welterweight bout with Randy Brown will proceed as scheduled, and Battle will forfeit 30% of his fight purse to Brown.
