The final pay-per-view of 2024 is here, and the stakes are incredibly high.

That’s a big theme in the UFC 310 cold open, which is narrated by actor Ron Perlman, which takes a look at the flyweight championship main event between Alexandre Pantoja and promotional newcomer and challenger Kai Asakura.

Additionally, Perlman narrates the weight in the welterweight title eliminator co-main event between “phenom” Ian Machado Garry and “force of nature” Shavkat Rakhmonov. Get an early look at the UFC 310 cold open below.

Pantoja is set for his third title defense following decision wins over Brandon Royval and, most recently at UFC 301 in May, Steve Erceg. “The Cannibal,” riding a six-fight win streak, welcomes Asakura, a former RIZIN bantamweight champion, to the UFC with a rare first-fight championship opportunity.

The undefeated Rakhmonov has finished all 18 of his opponents, and makes his first appearance of 2024. “Nomad” was slated to challenge Belal Muhammad for the 170-pound title in the main event, but an injury scratched the champion. Now, Rakhmonov faces fellow undefeated fighter Ian Machado Garry in a five-round co-main event. Garry has won both of his 2024 bouts against Geoff Neal and Michael Page.
