Uncrowned has UFC 321 live results, round-by-round updates, start time and highlights for the Tom Aspinall vs. Ciryl Gane and Virna Jandiroba vs. Mackenzie Dern fight card on Saturday afternoon at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall makes the first defense of his undisputed belt against two-time title challenger Ciryl Gane in the night’s five-round main event, while grappling aces Virna Jandiroba and Mackenzie Dern rematch for the vacant UFC strawweight title in the co-main event.
Aspinall (15-3) is Uncrowned’s No. 6 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. The English big man has been a terrorizing force atop the heavyweight ranks since his entry into the UFC in 2020, winning eight of his nine appearances and racking up seven first-round finishes. Aspinall, 32, captured the interim heavyweight title in late 2023 with a 69-second knockout of Sergei Pavlovich, then defended it in July 2024 with a 60-second knockout of Curtis Blaydes.

Aspinall earned the unfortunate distinction of becoming the longest-serving interim champion in UFC history this year, a run which mercifully came to an end when UFC CEO Dana White announced Jon Jones’ retirement this past June.
Gane (13-2) is a former interim heavyweight champion as well, although his history with undisputed title bouts is far from exemplary. The native Frenchman lost to both Jones and Francis Ngannou in his two shots at a proper belt, suffering a first-round submission loss to the former and a decision setback against the latter. Gane, 35, has since rebounded to win back-to-back bouts over Serghei Spivac and Alexander Volkov, and enters Saturday’s contest hoping to wash to stink away from his lackluster performance against Jones.

In the afternoon’s co-main event, Jandiroba (22-3) — Uncrowned’s No. 7 pound-for-pound woman in the world — and jiu-jitsu champion Dern (15-5) collide for the vacant strawweight title following Zhang Weili’s decision to seek two-division glory at 125 pounds. Jandiroba, 37, and Dern, 32, previously met in a late-2020 fight that Dern won by unanimous decision.
The UFC 321 preliminary card starts bright and early at 10 a.m. ET on ESPN+, Disney+ and FX. The main card begins live at 2 p.m. ET on ESPN+ pay-per-view.

Walker knew what he wanted immediately after his win.
“I want to [fight] Hamdy. November. Let’s go,” Walker said. “You take down this Peppa Pig, chocolate Peppa Pig, he doesn’t have wrestling. Let’s go, show me that wrestling. I’m here.”

Crazy first round between Wood and Delgado there. We saw yet another spinning knockdown in 2025, as Wood was planted and hurt badly by a spinning back fist. The Brit managed to rally and even dropped Delgado with a big overhand right. This has been a stark contrast to the previous fight, and we’re all the way here for it.

Barnett has negative takedown defense. This fight has just been Abdelwahab tackling him and throwing largely ineffective ground-and-pound to maintain his control.

Nevermind! There’s the point deduction for Abdelwahab! Great to see. The fight resumes on the feet. Let’s see if Barnett can rally.
Drake Riggs
We have some early controversy: Abdelwahab landed a clean elbow to the back of Barnett’s head, pausing the action. No point deduction, though. Only a warning, of course.
