Pantoja vs Asakura Prediction

“The Cannibal” Alexandre Pantoja puts his six-fight win streak on the line at UFC 310. Pantoja brings an unmatched blend of aggression, durability, and technical brilliance to the cage.

The Rio de Janeiro native has cemented himself as the most dangerous 125-pound fighter in the world. With 10 career submission victories, Pantoja uses his suffocating ground game to perfection. His aggressive striking and threatening submission game give him the ability to finish this fight.

On the other side of the cage, Kai Asakura is a live underdog with dynamite hands.  The former RIZIN champ has won seven of his last nine bouts and possesses the type of knockout power rarely seen in the flyweight division. Having said that, his suspect takedown defense could leave him vulnerable against a grappler as seasoned as Pantoja.

Expect Pantoja to weather Asakura’s early onslaught before dragging this championship bout into deeper waters. From there, “The Cannibal” can exploit his challenger’s weakness on the ground and lock up another submission victory.

Pantoja vs Asakura Pick:

• Alexandre Pantoja by submission (+190)

Rakhmanov vs Garry Prediction

The UFC 310 co-main event pits two undefeated welterweights in a clash of styles. Shavkat Rakhmanov has quickly become a fan favorite, with a perfect 18-0 record  and each victory coming by stoppage.  His relentless grappling style and devastating striking game make the Kazakhstani fighter a nightmare matchup for anyone in the division.

However, Ian Machado Garry is dangerous is his own right, and will be riding a wave of hype into the cage on Saturday. The Irishman has won 19 straight fights to begin his career, showcasing pinpoint striking and an excellent fight IQ on his rise. Although, questions remain about his ability to handle elite grapplers. Rakhmanov’s heavy pressure style could have Garry in trouble early.

With two outstanding finishers in the cage, this fight is unlikely to go the distance. Ultimately, Rakhmanov’s relentless pace will be too much for Garry, who’s yet to face a fighter of his caliber. Expect the Kazakh standout to earn another highlight reel finish.

Rakhmanov vs Garry Pick:

• Shavkat Rakhmanov by KO/TKO (+280)
