Which fighters have the edge at UFC 310? An MMA coach and a betting analyst weigh in.
When will he sign? Are the Mets the team to beat? Predicting how Juan Soto's free agency will play outAlexandre Pantoja puts his UFC men's flyweight title on the line against Kai Asakura in the main event at UFC 310 on Saturday night. for the men's flyweight title in the main event at UFC 310 on Saturday night .to retain the belt. Pantoja is putting his six-fight winning streak on the line; he has not lost a fight since July 2020.
Asakura, unranked by ESPN, spent the last eight years competing in Rizin, where he won five of his past six fights. Andreas Hale spoke to MMA coach and ESPN analyst Din Thomas to get his perspective on the UFC main event. ESPN betting expert Ian Parker adds insight and analysis on the main event and other intriguing bets he likes on the card.Pantoja is a demon who isn't afraid of anyone and has a great chin. No matter how tired he looks at the end of fights, he always fights smartly. Some people criticize his conditioning, but I don't. He has enough to win fights.
Asakura will get an opportunity to do something never done before: win a UFC title in his debut. To do that, he will have to knock out Pantoja early. Otherwise, he will be in for a miserable time being out-grappled. Pantoja has won his last six fights, including two successful title defenses, and I think we see another successful one here.
When two former teammates have no issue fighting each other, especially on short notice, it screams to bet over 2.5 rounds. In two of his last three fights, Rakhmonov has exceeded the 2.5-round mark, and I expect this to be the same against a striker who stays outside as much as Machado Garry does. For Machado Garry, he knows where Rakhmonov will have his number, and that's if he gets taken down.
