Uncrowned has UFC 310 results, live round-by-round updates, start time and highlights for the Alexandre Pantoja vs. Kai Asakura fight card on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. UFC flyweight champion Pantoja seeks the third consecutive defense of his belt when he takes on former RIZIN titleholder and UFC newcomer Kai Asakura in the night’s main event.
In the much-anticipated co-main event, undefeated welterweights Shavkat Rakhmonov and Ian Machado Garry collide in a short-notice five-round battle to determine the first challenger for Belal Muhammad’s UFC welterweight title.
Pantoja, 34, has won six consecutive UFC bouts, including a split decision over Brandon Moreno to capture the belt as well as back-to-back title defenses over Brandon Royval and Steve Erceg.
Asakura, 31, makes his UFC debut after notching his second RIZIN bantamweight title reign with a highlight-reel knockout of Juan Archuleta in December 2023. A genuine superstar in his native Japan, Asakura seeks to become the first Japanese UFC champion in the 31-year history of the promotion.
Rakhmonov, 30, and Garry, 27, are former training partners who own a combined 33-0 professional MMA record. Garry stepped in as a short-notice fill-in after UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad was forced out of UFC 310’s original main event in October due to a bone infection.
The UFC 310 start time for the preliminary card is at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN+. The main card begins live at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN+ pay-per-view.
