In the main event of UFC 310, Kai Asakura made his highly anticipated promotional debut against the reigning flyweight champion, Alexandre Pantoja, showcasing both skill and resilience despite ultimately losing by submission.
Pantoja immediately asserted his dominance, dropping Asakura and taking him down early in the first round, setting the tone for a challenging fight ahead for the up-and-comer.
In round two, Pantoja's relentless pressure and precise strikes led him to successfully execute a rear-naked choke, securing a decisive victory over Asakura, who displayed grit but was ultimately outmatched.
Despite the loss, Asakura's explosive movement and striking ability, as evidenced by his outside leg kicks and a damaging knee to the body, suggest a promising future for Japanese MMA.
