UFC and Dana White never sleep. It’s event after event after event. One would have thought that Dana had found a way to clone himself. Joking aside, we all know how severe UFC is as a company and that every event is carefully planned. So, it’s no wonder that we can move on to the next one only a few days after the closing of the UFC 309 event.
Not even cancellations and fighter injuries can stop the UFC from having top-notch events week in and week out. UFC 310 was supposed to be headlined by Belal Muhammad and Shavkat Rakhmonov. After Belal reported a serious bone infection, this bout was canceled until further notice. Dana White wasted no time, and a replacement bout was scheduled. It is a replacement bout only in name; we’re talking about a fight that deserves to be a headliner.
On one side, we will have Alexander Pantoja, the flyweight champion, in a fight to retain his title. His opponent is an interesting name who will not be familiar to UFC-only viewers. Nonetheless, Kai Asakura is a famous name in the world of MMA. The Former Rizin man is a two-time champion in their bantamweight division. Nowadays, he is looking to make a mark on the UFC universe.
Like most other UFC events, this one will attract viewers from all over the world. Those who want to seize the opportunity to watch UFC 309 live can do so at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. UFC and Las Vegas have a deep connection, and we can expect nothing less than a spectacle this time around, too. The event is scheduled for December 8th, starting at 4pm NZST. To help you gear up for the main bout and the rest of the card, we will present the top fights scheduled for UFC 310. Now that Jon Jones retained his title at UFC 309, and is no longer in the spotlight, for the time being, maybe some of the fighters below can take an aim at it.
