  • Tom Aspinall is 13/50 favourite to defend his UFC Heavyweight title vs Ciryl Gane (3/1).
  • UFC 321 takes place on Saturday, October 25 at the Etihad Arena, Abu Dhabi.

All eyes will be on Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena this Saturday as British heavyweight Tom Aspinall steps into the Octagon for the first time since becoming UFC Heavyweight Champion in June.

He headlines a stacked card at UFC 321, defending his title against former interim champion Ciryl Gane. 

Bookmakers have made Aspinall the clear favourite and excitement is building for what could be a statement night for British MMA.

The card also features title action in the women’s strawweight division and a number of pivotal matchups across bantamweight, light heavyweight, and more, all covered live with full prelims and main card action.

NetBet are the official partner of UFC and they have full odds available for fight night this weekend.

Tom Aspinall (13/50) has been in dominant form and enters his first title defence off the back of a stunning knockout victory over Curtis Blaydes.

That was well over a year ago now though and he will be hoping not to have any Octagon-rust heading into this bout.

Ciryl Gane (3/1), while a dangerous striker, has struggled with elite grapplers and that could be a key factor on Saturday night.
