Alex Pereira is currently not set to headline UFC 310, despite rumors of a last-minute fight against Magomed Ankalaev due to Belal Muhammad's withdrawal from the card caused by a bone infection. Pereira's team has confirmed that they have not received an official fight offer for this event and that he has prior commitments. Meanwhile, Ankalaev has expressed his desire to fight Pereira, claiming he deserves a title shot after his recent victory over Aleksandar Rakic. Following these developments, Ankalaev has risen to the number one contender spot in the light heavyweight rankings, positioning himself for a potential title bout. UFC 310, originally planned as a championship doubleheader, will still feature a flyweight co-main event with Alexandre Pantoja and Kai Asakura. The situation remains fluid as the UFC looks for a suitable headliner for the year-end event.
