Brandon royval e Manel kape face each other in the main fight of the scheduled event for March 1st in Las Vegas, at the Apex. But the location of the fight did not please the American at all. The flyweight (up to 56,7kg) clash is considered by many to be a 'title shot' to define an opponent for the belt holder, Alexandre pantoja. This would be the main reason for Royval's dissatisfaction.

The object of greatest desire for all involved, the world championship symbolized by the belt, remains with the Brazilian Alexandre pantoja. Fluminense defended the title for the third time by finishing Kai Asakura in the second round of the main fight of UFC 310, on December 7th, in Las Vegas.
