Sat Dec 07 08:50:00 UTC 2024: **UFC 310 to Feature Record-Breaking Age Gap Between Fighters**

LAS VEGAS, NV – UFC 310: Pantoja vs Asakura will see a clash of generations this Saturday, December 7th, when 25-year-old Chase Hooper faces off against 42-year-old veteran Clay Guida. This matchup will mark the second-largest age difference (17 years) ever seen in a UFC fight, a testament to Guida’s remarkable longevity in the sport.

Guida, a UFC Hall of Famer known for his durability and aggressive fighting style, boasts a storied career with 36 fights under the UFC banner since 2006 – a year when Hooper was only seven years old. He’s faced numerous top contenders and champions, including Charles Oliveira and Anthony Pettis.

Hooper, a rising star with a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, has compiled a 3-fight win streak at lightweight after a more mixed start to his UFC career. His submission-focused grappling style presents a stark contrast to Guida’s aggressive stand-up game, making for a highly anticipated stylistic clash.

The event, taking place at the T-Mobile Arena, promises a compelling matchup not just for the significant age difference but also the contrasting fighting styles of the two athletes. The main card begins at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT on PPV.
