Michael Chiesa vs. Max Griffin set for UFC 310

The UFC’s final pay-per-view event of 2024 has added a welterweight showdown.

Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that a matchup between Michael Chiesa and Max Griffin has been added to UFC 310 on Dec. 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The card currently does not have a main event announced.

Chiesa returned to the octagon following a year layoff at August’s UFC Abu Dhabi event and submitted Tony Ferguson via rear-naked choke in the opening round. The victory snapped a three-fight losing skid for “Maverick” — which included losses to Kevin Holland, Sean Brady, and Vicente Luque — and he is set to compete multiple times in a year for the first time since 2021.

Griffin makes his 17th walk to the octagon, and does so coming off a split decision win against Jeremiah Wells at UFC Vegas 86 in February. “Pain” has flip-flopped wins and losses over his past five outings, which includes victories over Carlos Condit and Tim Means.
