Dana White Plans Aspinall-Gane UFC 321 Rematch After No-Contest Ending

The UFC 321 main event between heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall and challenger Ciryl Gane ended abruptly and controversially due to an accidental eye poke from Gane that left Aspinall unable to continue, resulting in a no-contest. UFC President Dana White expressed his frustration over the anticlimactic finish but praised both fighters' performances, highlighting that Gane looked strong despite recent doubts about his abilities. White confirmed plans to schedule an immediate rematch as both fighters are healthy, aside from Aspinall's eye injury, which required hospital treatment after the fight. The rematch is anticipated to generate significant interest given the promising start of the initial bout and the unusual nature of the no-contest ruling in a title fight. White emphasized that only Aspinall can decide if he is ready to fight again, underscoring the importance of the fighter's health and safety. The UFC aims to organize the rematch as soon as possible to resolve the heavyweight title picture definitively.
