A flyweight title fight headlines UFC 310 as champion Alexandre Pantoja puts his belt on the line against newcomer Kai Asakura. This bout scheduled for five rounds is taking place Saturday, Dec. 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Pantoja (28-5 MMA, 12-3 UFC), who enters UFC 310 on a six-fight winning streak, is in search of his third consecutive title defense. Pantoja defeated Brandon Moreno by split decision to claim the 125-pound title in July 2023 and since then has followed up with unanimous decision wins against Brandon Royval and most recently Steve Erceg this past May at UFC 301.
Asakura (21-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has built his career in his native Japan as a former RIZIN FF bantamweight champion, now looking to immediately make a splash in a rare UFC debut title fight. Asakura holds notable victories over former Bellator and RIZIN champ Kyoji Horiguchi, as well as former Bellator champ Juan Archuleta.
