What many expected to be a competitive battle proved to be a one-sided affair, as Dooho Choi put on a dominant showing against Nate Landwehr to open up the UFC 310 pay-per-view card.

“The Train” tried to get aggressive early, but Choi made him feel his power, including a hook that briefly stumbled Landwehr. “Korean Superboy” continued to land at will on the feet and scored a takedown after getting to the back of the American, who made it back to his feet with a little less than two minutes to go in the round. Choi’s shots were clearly more effective.

The UFC Hall of Fame Fight Wing inductee continued to be crisper and cleaner with his shots as the fight entered the second round, even after Landwehr landed a spinning elbow. Choi managed to score another pair of takedowns, demonstrating complete control over Landwehr.

“The Train” looked to get to swinging away in the third round, but his opponent managed to return the fight to the mat. There, the “Korean Superboy” was able to put Landwehr away with elbow strikes in the crucifix position.

‘Should’ve Pulled Him Out’ – Fans React To Anthony Smith’s One-Sided Loss To Dominick Reyes, Retirement Admission At UFC 310

UFC 310 was always going to be a difficult moment for Anthony Smith, but it now looks like it might have been the last time fans see him compete inside the Octagon.

UFC 310 was always going to be a difficult moment for Anthony Smith, but it now looks like it might have been the last time fans see him compete inside the Octagon.

In the featured prelim at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, former light heavyweight title challengers met for the first time as “Lionheart” took on Dominick Reyes.

The entire fight week has been a particularly emotional one for Smith following the loss of his best friend and longtime cornerman, Scott Morton, last month. He chose to compete in order to channel his energy into something positive, but it was clear as he made his walkout that the moment was affecting him.

Daniel Cormier and Joe Rogan questioned on commentary whether Smith should have been stepping inside the Octagon in that state, and that conversation only continued after he appeared to fight recklessly at points in the opening round. In the second, Reyes took full control of the contest, and after landing lots of ground-and-pound with his opponent seemingly reluctant to change the position, “The Devastator” secured back-to-back wins.

In his post-fight interview, Smith admitted that he was wrong about believing he could suppress his emotions in order to make the walk, telling Rogan that it will probably mark the last bout of his 58-fight career — though he will take some time before making the final decision.

Fans reacted to Smith’s emotional loss and interview via social media.

Dominick Reyes vs. Anthony Smith - UFC 310 Highlights

Dominick Reyes put a beating on Anthony Smith during the UFC 310 featured prelim ahead of Saturday’s main card on pay-per-view.

Reyes came out aggressive and led the dance for the majority of the opening round. Though that’s not to say Smith didn’t have his moments. ‘Lionheart’ managed to land a few nice right hands during the stand-up battle, but it was Reyes who landed the more significant strikes, particularly in the final 30 seconds of the round when he really started to open up and tag Smith.

Things really started to get out of hand in the second with Reyes lighting up Smith with a slew of elbows against the fence. By the two-minute mark of the round, Reyes had outstruck ‘Lionheart’ 42-0. Reyes continued to pour it on as Smith accepted his position on the mat with 90 seconds to go.

With the clock winding down and Smith doing nothing to improve his position, referee Marc Goddard finally decided to step in and call for the stoppage, awarding Reyes his second straight win inside the Octagon.

Khabib Nurmagomedov Calls For Movsar Evloev Title Shot After UFC 310

Legendary former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov wants to see his fellow countryman, top-five featherweight Movsar Evloev, as the next challenger for Ilia Topuria.

Legendary former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov wants to see his fellow countryman, top-five featherweight Movsar Evloev, as the next challenger for Ilia Topuria.

Evloev made his latest appearance on the preliminary card of Saturday’s UFC 310 pay-per-view in Las Vegas, where his second outing of the year came against an ex-bantamweight titleholder in Aljamain Sterling.

After his decision victory over Arnold Allen this past January wasn’t enough to impress the promotional higher-ups, the Russian had more work to do to place himself in a strong position heading into 2025.

And although “Funk Master” gave him a run for his money, Evloev ultimately did just that by earning the nod on all three scorecards following three rounds of entertaining grappling action at T-Mobile Arena.

Evloev had a ‘what will be, will be’ attitude when asked about whether he’s done enough for a title shot by Joe Rogan post-fight. But there’s little doubt about the merit of the #5-ranked contender’s claim in the eyes of another undefeated Russian…

“19:0 in MMA and 9:0 in UFC,” Khabib wrote. “I think @MovsarUFC deserves title shot.”

Evloev’s performance on Saturday night maintained his undefeated record in the Octagon, but he is still searching for his first finish under the UFC banner.

Whether or not that fact will dent his push for the gold remains to be seen, but Evloev appears to have gained considerable support for his hopes to battle Topuria in 2025 after a hard-fought triumph over Sterling in “Sin City.”
