The Ultimate Fighting Championship is putting together about as classic of a “striker vs. grappler” matchup as it gets.
Per MMA Fighting on Thursday, the promotion has set a welterweight collision of Michael Chiesa (17-7) vs. Max Griffin (20-10) for UFC 310. The two 170ers with drastically different styles will come to blows on Dec. 7 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Griffin has since confirmed the pairing on Instagram.
Chiesa bounced back from a career-long losing streak by tapping out Tony Ferguson in August.
