Aspinall vs Gane Headlines UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi

UFC 321 on October 25 at Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena will be headlined by undisputed heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall defending his title against Ciryl Gane, with the main card available on TNT Sports Box Office. The card also features Virna Jandiroba vs. Mackenzie Dern for the vacant strawweight championship. Aspinall — promoted to champion after Jon Jones’ retirement — is making his first defense following about a 14-month layoff and has drawn attention for his speed, jiu-jitsu credentials and dramatic body transformation. His camp includes father‑coach Andy Aspinall and training partner Phil De Fries, and he has showcased intense open workouts and sparring that have divided fan reaction. Gane presents a stylistic contrast with lateral movement and diverse striking, making him a technical, cardio-capable threat despite Aspinall entering as the betting favorite with clear upset potential.
