UFC men's flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja goes for his third title defense, as he takes on former two-time Rizin bantamweight champion Kai Asakura in the main event at UFC 310 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Pantoja, who beat Brandon Moreno at UFC 290 to claim the title, is riding a six-fight winning streak, dating back to February 2021. Asakura is making his debut in the Octagon after competing in Rizin for the last eight years.
The co-main event is also an important fight to set the landscape for 2025, as rising welterweight title contenders Shavkat Rakhmonov and Ian Machado Garry go head-to-head in what could be the No. 1 contender. Also on the card, former interim UFC heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane returns to the Octagon to face Alexander Volkov.
Brett Okamoto, Andreas Hale, Jeff Wagenheim, Dre Waters and Eddie Maisonet III highlight everything happening in and around the UFC pay-per-view event.
