The UFC 310 main card kicks off with an exciting clash in the featherweight division as Nate Landwehr prepares to square off against Dooho Choi.
Landwehr enters the octagon for the first time since March when he earned a Performance of the Night bonus with a comeback knockout victory against Jamall Emmers. Known for his relentless pressure and knockout power, the 36-year-old has won four of his last five bouts, with all but one victory coming inside the distance. He won the Performance of the Night honors for all the wins and would be keen on wrapping up the year with a signature win against Choi.
Choi, meanwhile, is eager to continue his resurgence after ending a three-fight skid with a draw against Kyle Nelson and a second-round TKO finish over Bill Algeo earlier this year. A dynamic striker with proven skills, Choi is arguably one of the most entertaining fighters in the division, with five post-fight bonuses under his belt.
UFC 310 kicks off with the main card at 10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT) exclusively on pay-per-view via ESPN+. The four-fight preliminary card will air live on ESPN 2 at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT). Fans can tune in even earlier for early prelims, streaming on ESPN+ starting at 6 p.m. ET (3 p.m. PT).
