UFC’s final pay-per-view is peculiar. The promotion returns to the frequently visited T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with UFC 310 on Saturday night, a card lacking a significant draw but packed with familiar faces.
UFC 310 was originally to be headlined by UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad vs. Shavkat Rakhmonov. Muhammad pulled out of the fight with a bone infection, leading Rakhmonov to accept a co-main event fight with Ian Machado Garry instead. Stepping up to the marquee is the card’s original co-main, UFC flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja defending his title against former Rizin champion Kai Asakura in the latter’s UFC debut.
Pantoja has been a stalwart of the flyweight ranks for years now. He finally ascended to the throne in July 2023 with a split decision win over Brandon Moreno. He followed that up with a gutsy win over Brandon Royval and a dominant showing against Steve Erceg. Asakura has been a mainstay of Rizin for the last eight years. He posted a 13-3 record with the promotion, including incredible wins over Kyoji Horiguchi, Manel Kape, Shooto Watanabe and Juan Archuleta.
Meanwhile, the co-main event feels like a fire fight. Rakhmonov and Garry both bring spotless records to the Octagon. Rakhmonov, the No. 1 contender at welterweight, has finished every one of his 18 opponents as a professional. Garry, on the other hand, is 15-0 with seven knockouts and one submission win, but he excels in disciplining foes with his vast array of strikes.
The undercard also features a handful of former champions looking to work their way back to glory. That includes the heavyweight featured bout between former interim titleholder Ciryl Gane and perennial contender Alexander Volkov. Plus, former bantamweight king Aljamain Sterling is back in action at featherweight when he takes on Movsar Evloev. And former middleweight champion Chris Weidman looks to get on track when he faces Eryk Anders.
