UFC 321: Aspinall vs. Gane was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on October 25, 2025, at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.[2]
Background
[edit ]The event marked the promotion's 22nd visit to Abu Dhabi and first since UFC on ABC: Whittaker vs. de Ridder in July 2025.[2]
A UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between current champion Tom Aspinall and former interim champion Ciryl Gane headlined the event.[3]
A UFC Women's Strawweight Championship bout for the vacant title between former Invicta FC Strawweight Champion Virna Jandiroba and Mackenzie Dern took place in the co-main event. Current two-time champion Zhang Weili vacated her title in order to challenge for the UFC Women's Flyweight Championship.[4] The pairing previously met at UFC 256 in December 2020 which Dern won by unanimous decision.[5]
A bantamweight bout between former UFC Bantamweight Championship challenger Umar Nurmagomedov and Mario Bautista took place at this event.[6] They were originally reported to be competing in the main event of UFC Fight Night: de Ridder vs. Allen one week prior but were moved to this event for unknown reasons.[7]
Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady and Matheus Camilo were expected to meet in a lightweight bout on the preliminary card, but Al-Selwady pulled out less than 48 hours before the event and the pairing was scrapped.[8] [9]
At the weigh-ins, two fighters missed weight:[10]
- Jose Miguel Delgado weighed in at 147 pounds, one pound over the featherweight non-title fight limit.
- Azat Maksum weighed in at 129 pounds, three pounds over the flyweight non-title fight limit.
Delgado and Maksum's bouts proceeded at catchweight. Both fighters were fined a percentage of their individual purses which went to their opponents Nathaniel Wood (20 percent) and Mitch Raposo (30 percent), respectively.[10]
