UFC 313: Bantamweight Bout Added to Stacked March Card
UFC 313 is shaping up to be an exciting event, with a standout bantamweight bout added to the card. Scheduled for March 8 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, UFC 313 is set to feature Chris Gutierrez taking on rising star Jean Matsumoto, a fight that has bantamweight fans buzzing.
Chris Gutierrez, who made his UFC debut in 2018, has had an impressive journey through the promotion. After a strong start, including a win over former champion Frankie Edgar at UFC 281, Gutierrez climbed into the bantamweight top 15. However, his recent performances have been mixed. He endured losses to top-ranked contenders Pedro Munhoz and Song Yadong in 2023 but got back on track with a dominant decision victory over Quang Le at UFC Vegas 95 in August. This bout against Matsumoto represents an important opportunity for Gutierrez to reassert himself among the division’s elite.
Jean Matsumoto, on the other hand, is a rising star who is quickly making a name for himself in the UFC. Undefeated at 16-0, the 25-year-old Brazilian has been nothing short of dominant. Signed following an impressive performance on Dana White’s Contender Series, Matsumoto debuted in 2024 with wins over Dan Argueta and Brad Katona, signaling his potential as a future title contender. With his pristine record and growing reputation, Matsumoto’s matchup with Gutierrez will be a true test of his ability to compete at the highest level.
Alongside the bantamweight bout added to the contest, UFC 313 boasts a stacked lineup, including other highly anticipated matchups such as Amanda Lemos vs. Iasmin Lucindo and Brunno Ferreira vs. Armen Petrosyan. With so much talent on display, UFC 313 promises to deliver an unforgettable night of action.
As of now, the UFC 313 line-up looks like this:
- Chris Gutierrez vs. Jean Matsumoto
- Amanda Lemos vs. Iasmin Lucindo
