Former Rizin bantamweight champion, Japanese fighter Kai Asakura, shared his prediction for the upcoming fight with UFC flyweight champion, Brazilian Alexandre Pantoja. The fight is set to headline UFC 310 on December 8 in Las Vegas, USA.
Lowkickmma quotes Asakura as saying:
Kai Asakura
Pantoja is someone I don’t think I’ll have any problem dealing with. The advantage I hold over Pantoja is that I have one-shot knockout power, so it only takes one shot and I’m expecting this fight to be over with one shot… I know in the history of the UFC, there have been many famous knockout scenes, but I’m hoping that at UFC 310, I can add my finish to those highlight reels.
Asakura last fought in December 2023 at Rizin 45, winning against Juan Archuleta by technical knockout in the second round. His record stands at 21 wins and four losses.
Pantoja's last octagon appearance was in May 2024 at UFC 301, where he won against Steve Erceg by unanimous decision. He holds a record of 28 wins and five losses.
