Exciting developments for UFC 313 are underway.
Scheduled for March 8 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, UFC 313 is shaping up to be a memorable event. While the main event is still in the works, a thrilling bantamweight matchup has been confirmed between Chris Gutierrez and Jean Matsumoto. This announcement was first reported by Marcel Dorff and later confirmed by both fighters on their social media platforms.
Having made his UFC debut in 2018, Gutierrez has had a successful run in the promotion with notable wins. Despite facing some setbacks in 2023, he bounced back with a victory over Quang Le at UFC Vegas 95 last August. On the other hand, Matsumoto, with an undefeated record of 16-0, is considered a rising star in the bantamweight division. After a strong debut year with the UFC in 2024, he has proven himself as a top contender in the 135-pound weight class.
Here is a look at the current line-up for UFC 313.
