There is a lot at stake for Tom Aspinall tonight, as the Briton defends the undisputed UFC heavyweight title for the first time.
In the main event of UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi, the Wigan fighter defends the gold against France’s Ciryl Gane, having been elevated from interim champion when Jon Jones retired this summer. That moment brought an end to a frustrating saga, in which Jones, 38, refused to defend the regular belt against Aspinall, despite the 32-year-old being the rightful next challenger.
