UFC 310: Alexandre Pantoja vs. Kai Asakura - Fight card, date, start time, streaming, how to watch, venue, and more

The UFC 310 event will be headlined by a UFC flyweight title showdown between the reigning champion Alexandre Pantoja and the challenger Kai Asakura. It'll be Japanese superstar Asakura's UFC promotional debut.

The event's co-headlining match pits Shavkat Rakhmonov against Ian Machado Garry in a high-stakes welterweight bout. Initially, the Pantoja-Asakura fight was booked as the co-headliner and Rakhmonov was to headline UFC 310 against UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad.

Nevertheless, in late October, Muhammad withdrew due to a bone infection, and Ian Machado Garry was pulled from his scheduled fight and rebooked in a co-headlining spot against Rakhmonov. Also, the Pantoja-Asakura fight was promoted to be the event's headlining match.

Moreover, the card witnessed several other changes, including the withdrawal of MMA legend Nick Diaz. That said, it still boasts other notable names, including the likes of former interim UFC heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane, ex-UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman, and former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling.
