UFC 310 Results: Pantoja and Rakhmonov Win
The December 7, 2024 card in Las Vegas featured a flyweight title fight and a five-round welterweight co-main event and several notable finishes. Alexandre Pantoja retained his flyweight title, and Shavkat Rakhmonov earned a unanimous decision over Ian Machado Garry.
Main event: Pantoja submitted Kai Asakura with a rear-naked choke at 2:05 of the second round to retain the flyweight championship.
Co-main event: Rakhmonov defeated Garry by unanimous decision, 48–47 on all three scorecards. A report at the time said a commentator had heard Rakhmonov might have an MCL tear, but that specific diagnosis was not confirmed. Rakhmonov later said he fought with meniscus and ACL injuries.
Elsewhere, Ciryl Gane beat Alexander Volkov by split decision, while Bryce Mitchell knocked out Kron Gracie with elbows at 0:39 of the third round.

Important preliminary-card results
Movsar Evloev defeated former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling by unanimous decision at featherweight, with all three judges scoring the bout 29–28. The contest featured repeated changes of position and competing spells of control, giving Evloev another win in his unbeaten professional career.
Vicente Luque produced one of the quickest finishes of the night, submitting Themba Gorimbo with an anaconda choke in 52 seconds. Michael Chiesa also won by submission, stopping Max Griffin with a rear-naked choke at 1:56 of the third round. The official preliminary-card report records those outcomes.
Different paths to victory
The card combined fast submissions, later stoppages and close decisions. Pantoja’s finish preserved a championship, while Rakhmonov’s victory settled a non-title meeting between unbeaten welterweights. Those were different competitive stakes even though both featured bouts were scheduled for five rounds. The supporting results added further movement across the featherweight, welterweight and light-heavyweight divisions.
