A battle between welterweight veterans is headed to UFC 310.
Michael Chiesa takes on Max Griffin Dec. 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPN+). Two people with knowledge of the situation confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie after an initial report from MMA Fighting.

Griffin (20-10 MMA, 8-8 UFC) has split his past four octagon appearances. After dropping a unanimous decision to Michael Morales, Griffin rebounded with a close win over Jeremiah Wells at UFC Fight Night 236 in February.
