The
Final Preventing Championship is placing collectively about as
traditional of a “striker vs. grappler” matchup because it will get.
Per
MMA Preventing on Thursday, the promotion has set a welterweight
collision of Michael
Chiesa (17-7) vs. Max Griffin
(20-10) for UFC 310.
The 2 170ers with drastically completely different kinds will come to blows
on Dec. 7 on the T-Cell Enviornment in Las Vegas. Griffin has since
confirmed the pairing on Instagram.
Chiesa bounced again from a career-long shedding streak by tapping out
Tony
Ferguson in August. The victory snapped a skid that started in
2021, marking his first win since January of that yr. In his
tough patch, Chiesa succumbed to a brabo choke from Vicente
Luque and fell brief on the scorecards to Sean Brady.
These back-to-back setbacks led to a while off for the Washington
native. After about 20 months off, Chiesa returned, and Kevin
Holland ended up tapping him with a brabo choke to set a report
for essentially the most losses by way of this submission in firm historical past
(three).
“Ache” has alternated wins and losses in his final 5, with all
5 outings listening to the ultimate bell. Whereas he has surpassed growing older
vets like Carlos
Condit and Tim
Means—together with a contentious determination over Jeremiah
Wells—he has fallen brief to prime names within the weight class like
Neil
Magny and Michael
Morales. Winner of 5 of his final seven, Griffin has since
righted the ship to even his report with the group to
.500.
UFC 310 will go down on the T-Cell Enviornment in Las Vegas on Dec. 7,
with no headliner at the moment on faucet. A variety of extremely anticipated
showdowns will happen at this occasion, together with a heavyweight
rematch between Ciryl Gane
and Alexander
Volkov not too long ago rescheduled from UFC 308. Moreover,
Virna
Jandiroba faces Tatiana
Suarez in a possible strawweight title eliminator, whereas Nick Diaz
re-enters the Octagon to throw down with Luque.
