UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall made his first statement after announcing his fight with former interim champion Ciryl Gane.
It became known today that the Brit and the Frenchman will meet at UFC 321, which will take place on October 25 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
“Finally, we are returning after more than a year-long break. Ciryl Gane and I have finally signed the contract. This is the fourth time we have been scheduled to face each other in the cage. He backed out of the fight at the very beginning, even before we made it into the rankings.
After that, he fought Spivak, and in my interview after the victory over Tybura, I said that I wanted to meet the winner of his fight. I went to Paris, and Ciryl unfortunately backed out of the fight for the second time.
Next, my opponent at UFC 304 was supposed to be Gane, not Blaydes. Unfortunately, Ciryl was busy that day — filming a series for Netflix. And now we are waiting for a fight on October 25 in Abu Dhabi. This is already the fourth attempt, and this is the third title fight for Ciryl. We will try to erase Ciryl Gane from title plans forever,” Aspinall wrote on Instagram.
