Dana White reveals new main and co-main events for UFC 310 after champion's injury
Dana White announced new main and co-main events for UFC 310, scheduled for December 7, after welterweight champion Belal Muhammad withdrew due to injury. Alexandre Pantoja will now face Kai Asakura in the main event, while Shavkat Rakhmonov will fight Ian Machado Garry. Rakhmonov's fight was originally planned for the title match against Muhammad. Garry, who was set to headline UFC Tampa on December 14, will now compete in a number-one contender's match. Colby Covington will replace him in the Tampa main event against Joaquin Buckley. The updated UFC 310 card includes notable matchups such as Ciryl Gane vs. Alexander Volkov and Vicente Luque vs. Nick Diaz. White's announcement coincided with the boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
