The UFC 310 struggle card is getting a facelift.
Promotion officers at this time introduced that heavyweight hurter Martin Buday has been faraway from his 265-pound showdown towards two-time “Contender Collection” standout Rizvan Kuniev. With lower than two weeks till struggle night time, matchmakers opted to scrap the bout altogether, versus discovering a late substitute to struggle Kuniev.
The explanation for Buday’s elimination was not revealed.
Elsewhere on the cardboard, Tallison Teixeira was yanked from his heavyweight contest towards Lukasz Brzeski for undisclosed causes. Not like the Buday bout, the promotion was in a position to lock down a short-notice substitute within the type of 265-pound “Savage” Kennedy Nzechukwu, only a few weeks faraway from his UFC 308 victory over Chris Barnett.
This remaining change will in all probability not come as any huge shock.
UFC (lastly) made the Vicente Luque vs. Themba Gorimbo struggle official. Luque was beforehand hooked up to the return of Nick Diaz, which ended lengthy earlier than it started. Why the promotion continues to guide Diaz after this weird loss stays a thriller to me, however maybe they simply need Nick to seize one final bag whereas he nonetheless can.
UFC 310 might be headlined by the flyweight title struggle pitting reigning 125-pound champion, Alexandre Pantoja, towards Japanese sensation, Kai Asakura. Elsewhere on the cardboard, Shavkat Rakhmonov battles Ian Garry for the subsequent spot within the welterweight title chase.
