Tom Aspinall: Briton to defend heavyweight title against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321

Manchester’s Aspinall repeatedly called for an undisputed title fight with Jones after winning the interim belt in November 2023, but the American remained non-committal.

Jones instead defended his belt against fellow countryman Stipe Miocic in November, leaving Aspinall to wait for a potential bout, before retiring seven months later.

Aspinall is Britain’s first UFC heavyweight champion and has won eight of his nine fights in the promotion, with his wins all coming via finish.

Gane is a former UFC interim heavyweight champion but has twice suffered defeat fighting for the undisputed title – against Francis Ngannou in 2022, and against Jones the following year.

He last fought against Russia’s Alexander Volkov in December, winning by split decision in an unconvincing performance.

Since making his UFC debut in 2019, Gane has won 10 of his 12 bouts.
