UFC 321: Aspinall vs Gane - times, full fight card and how to watch in the U.S.

The UFC heavyweight title once held by Jon “Bones” Jones is officially up for grabs, and two elite contenders are ready to seize the moment. Current champion Tom Aspinall, who was upgraded from interim title holder in June, will face former champ Ciryl Gane this Saturday at UFC 321, live from Abu Dhabi.

After months of frustration and failed negotiations with Jones, Aspinall meets Gane in the UAE with the chance to rubber-stamp his status as the UFC’s heavyweight king. The British powerhouse spent over a year and half as interim champion, but was upgraded following Jones’ retirement.

For Gane, this marks a second chance to claim the belt he lost in a submission defeat to Jones in 2023.
