UFC 310 is filling up fast.

The UFC on Tuesday announced 12 bouts for its Dec. 7 fight card, which serves as the promotion’s final pay-per-view of 2024 and is headlined by Belal Muhammad defending his welterweight title against undefeated contender Shavkat Rakhmonov at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Muhammad (24-3, 1 NC) seeks the first defense of his belt after dominating Leon Edwards to capture gold in July at UFC 304. Rakhmonov (18-0) enters his first title opportunity with a perfect 100% finishing rate over his pro MMA career, which includes wins over Stephen Thompson and Geoff Neal.

Muhammad’s current 11-fight unbeaten streak stretches back to 2019 and counts victories over Thompson, Sean Brady, Gilbert Burns and Vicente Luque, in addition to Edwards.

In the card’s co-main event, UFC flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja (28-5) hunts for his third defense of the belt against promotional newcomer and former RIZIN champion Kai Asakura (21-4).

Additional bouts announced Tuesday include Vicente Luque (22-10-1) vs. Nick Diaz (26-10, 2 NC), former interim UFC heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane (12-2) vs. Alexander Volkov (38-10), Movsar Evloev (18-0) vs. former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling (24-4), and Tatiana Suarez (10-0) vs. Virna Jandiroba (21-3) in a likely No. 1 contender bout for the strawweight division.
