All the headliners from UFC 310 lined up to face off following tonight’s press conference. Take a look and see how it went.

After the craziness that was UFC 309, the UFC 310 press conference and faceoffs were a little muted in comparison. But we still got to see some competitive juices flowing from the fighters in the main and co-main event.

First up to face off were Ciryl Gane and Alexander Volkov. They kept things very civil, shaking hands and barely copping any heat at all. You get the feeling Gane expects to walk through Volkov the same way he did the last time they met in 2021. Volkov’s cool and calm demeanor implied he feels he’s changed enough since then for a different result.

Then it was Shavkat Rakhmonov and Ian Machado Garry to the stage. As cocky as Garry is, it was Rakhmonov who leaned in and got a little aggro in their faceoff. Garry responded with some words “Nomad” clearly didn’t understand, but ended the engagement with a big hug.

Last but not least, flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja was all business when he came to stare down Kai Asakura, who kept his sunglasses on and smiled through the entire affair.
