Nate “The Train” is back to close out the UFC’s pay-per-view year.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that Nate Landwehr faces Doo Ho Choi at UFC 310 on Dec. 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. MMA Mania was first to report the booking.
Landwehr has proven to be one of the featherweight division’s most exciting fighters as he steps in the octagon for the second time in 2024. The 36-year-old knocked out Jamall Emmers at UFC Atlantic City this past March to bounce back from a decision loss to Dan Ige at UFC 289 in June 2023.
Choi is set to compete for the second time in a year for the first time since 2016. “Korean Superboy” knocked out Bill Algeo with a nasty left hook in the second round at UFC Vegas 94 this past July to earn his first victory since knocking out Thiago Tavares at the TUF 23 Finale in July 2016.
As of now, a new main event for UFC 310 is yet to be announced after an injury forced welterweight champion Belal Muhammad out of his scheduled title defense against Shavkat Rakhmonov.
