Belal Muhammad, Shavkat Rakhmonov Will Headline UFC 310
The UFC has begun booking its final pay-per-view event of the calendar year. At UFC 310, Belal Muhammad will look to defend the welterweight title against Shavkat Rakhmonov. In the co-main event, Alexandre Pantoja will put the flyweight title on the line against Kai Asukara. UFC CEO Dana White announced the news on social media.
UFC 310 will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada on Dec. 7, 2024. The event will be the UFC’s final pay-per-view event of 2024.
Muhammad’s title defense against Rakhmonov will be the first of his title reign. The champion earned the title at UFC 304 with a decision win against Leon Edwards. That victory also marked his ten consecutive victories.
Rakhmonov undoubtedly deserves a title fight. The 29-year-old, has an 18-0 professional record with six UFC wins. More impressively, he finished every fight. That includes ten submission wins and eight knockout victories.
The UFC 310 co-main event features a flyweight title fight between Pantoja and Asakura. Pantoja is beginning to establish a respectable title reign. The champion currently has two title defenses and a laundry list of wins over the division’s elite.
Asakura is one of the UFC’s top free-agent signings in recent years. The 30-year-old is one of the best flyweights fighting in major organizations outside of the UFC. Asakura is 21-4 in his professional MMA. The majority of this experience came in RIZIN where he went 13-3. In his tenure, he was a two-time bantamweight champion in the organization.
UFC 310 will also feature a handful of other high-profile fights. This includes a heavyweight matchup between Ciryl Gane and Alexander Volkov, a featherweight bout between Aljamain Sterling and Mosvar Evloev, and a welterweight bout between Nick Diaz and Vicente Luque, among other fights.
