Heavyweight Havoc Hits Yas Island: UFC 321 Is Coming for You
UFC 321 is headed back to Etihad Arena.
Get ready, Abu Dhabi: the Octagon is rolling back into town, and it’s bringing pure, unfiltered chaos with it. UFC 321 lands at Etihad Arena on Saturday, October 25th, and the main event is a straight-up war: reigning heavyweight king Tom Aspinall defending his crown against French powerhouse Ciryl Gane.
This isn’t just a fight, it’s a collision of titans. It’s Manchester grit vs. Parisian precision. And it’s all going down right here in the capital for you to watch.

The Main Event: Aspinall vs. Gane
After flattening Sergei Pavlovich, Aspinall (15-3) is stepping back into the cage with that gold on his waist and a point to prove. He’s got the black belt, the boxing, and the killer instinct.
The man standing in his way is former interim champ Gane (13-2) — lightning-fast, technically flawless, and laser-focused on snatching the belt back.
This one’s got “fight of the year” written all over it.
