UFC play-by-play commentator Jon Anik is pleased to see flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja get another main event spotlight on the promotion’s final pay-per-view of the year.
Pantoja (28-5 MMA, 12-3 UFC) will attempt to make a third consecutive defense of his title when he takes on Kai Asakura (21-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC) in the UFC 310 headliner on Dec. 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPNews).
Pantoja vs. Asakura wasn’t originally slated to top the lineup, but when welterweight champ Belal Muhammad withdrew from his fight against Shavkat Rakhmonov due to a health issue, the matchup was elevated.
