I was a little surprised. It will be a good rematch. Now people understand that both are on the same level.
The UFC heavyweight title fight between Aspinall and Gane took place on October 25 at UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi (UAE). The bout was stopped in the first round due to an intentional finger poke to the eye by Ciryl and declared a no-contest, as Tom was unable to continue.
Aspinall’s record stands at 15 wins, 3 losses, and 1 no-contest. Gane’s record reads 13 wins, 2 losses, and 1 no-contest.
