UFC 310: Pantoja vs Asakura

The year’s final pay-per-view was headlined by UFC Flyweight Champion Alexandre Pantoja defending against former RIZIN Bantamweight Champion Kai Asakura, who was making his debut. This matchup occurred because Pantoja was clearing out his division. The main card also featured Shavkat Rakhmonov vs. Ian Machado Garry, a matchup that came together after Belal Muhammad pulled out of his fight with Rakhmonov. Machado Garry, who was supposed to fight Joaquin Buckley a week later, accepted the replacement.
