The MMA community was left disappointed after UFC 321 when Tom Aspinall vs. Ciryl Gane ended in a no contest due to an eye poke.

Champion Tom Aspinall and top-ranked Ciryl Gane couldn’t make it through the opening round of their heavyweight main event at UFC 321 inside Etihad Arena before the match was ruled a no-contest.

Nurmagomedov (19-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) survived an early knockdown to defeat Bautista (16-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27). The bantamweight bout was part of the UFC 321 main card at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.

The stage is set for UFC 321, headlined by the heavyweight title bout between Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025 (10/25/25) at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.

Jon Jones only had words for Alex Pereira after the conclusion of UFC 321, not Tom Aspinall.

The UFC handed out four bonuses after Saturday's card in the Middle East, including one for a certain Knockout of the Year candidate. After UFC 321, four fighters picked up an extra $50,000 for their performances at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.
