The Brazilian Alexandre Pantoja will defend his flyweight belt against Japanese Kai Asakura. The fight will be the main event of UFC 310, which will be held next Saturday (7), at the T-Mobile Arena, in Las Vegas.
O card is full of fights that will be extremely important for their respective divisions. Among them, a duel that could define the next challenger for the featherweight title.
The fight between Russian Movsar Evloev and Jamaican Aljamain Sterling is one of the most anticipated fights on Saturday night at UFC 310. After all, it brings together an undefeated fighter who is looking for a place at the top, facing a former champion who is looking for a double championship , as he moved up a weight category.
Sterling, who was bantamweight champion between 2021 and 2023, will have his second fight in the under-66kg category and a victory over Evloev could put the “Funk Master” at the top of the category and closest to the belt, today under the reign of Ilia Topuria.
However, the organization’s choice to leave the fight in the preliminary portion of the card bothered the Jamaican.
“At the end of the day, it’s not my organization. I don’t give the orders. I just go out there and fight, and it’s up to me to go out there and prove these guys wrong, hey, I’m a main card fighter. I think people are going to be in for a big surprise, and the UFC is going to say, ‘We made a big mistake by not putting this on the main card.’” Sterling said.
