UFC 310 will be at the T-Mobile Arena on December 7. The early prelims start at 6 p.m. ET, while the prelims are at 8 p.m. ET. The main card starts at 10 p.m. ET, and Alexandre Pantoja and Kai Asakura should make their way to the octagon around 12:30 a.m. ET, depending on how long the undercard fights last.
Pantoja (28-5) is 12-3 in the octagon and on a six-fight win streak. The 34-year-old beat Brandon Moreno to win the UFC flyweight title and has successfully defended it twice.
Asakura (21-4) turned pro in 2012 and has held gold for Rings and Rizin. A two-time Rizin bantamweight champion, the 31-year-old is on a two-fight win streak and heads into the fire in his UFC debut. Some have questioned the move, but he believes his arrival helps an exciting division.
"Let's be honest: It's good business for the UFC if I win," Asakura told MMA Junkie. "I'm here to make it exciting, for people to have interest in the flyweight division and have a whole bunch of new matchups ready to have on future shows."
The co-main event will see Shavkat Rakhmonov vs. Ian Machado Garry in a UFC welterweight title eliminator. Rakhmonov (18-0) was supposed to fight Belal Muhammad for welterweight gold before the champion pulled out. He was 6-0 in the octagon, winning all fights via a finish.
Garry (15-0), ranked seventh in the division, is 8-0 in the octagon. In June, he beat Michael "Venom" Page to continue his rise in the UFC.
