The UFC sets up the Octagon in Abu Dhabi on Saturday for a heavyweight clash between Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane. Aspinall's belt is just one title that will be on the line. Virna Jandiroba and Mackenzie Dern will tussle for the vacant women's strawweight crown.
The main card will be on ESPN pay-per-view starting at 2 p.m. ET, with prelims beginning at 10 a.m. ET in the ESPN App.
Aspinall (15-3-0) is set for his first title defense and his first fight of the year after dropping Curtis Blaydes in the first round at UFC 304 in July 2024. The undisputed heavyweight champion now looks to take down a former interim champion in Gane (13-2-0), who hasn't lost since falling to Jon Jones at UFC 285 in March 2023.
In the co-main event, Jandiroba and Dern will face off for the second time. Dern (15-5-0) defeated Jandiroba via unanimous decision at UFC 256 in December 2020. Jandiroba (22-3-0) has won six of her seven fights since, including victories in each of her past five bouts.
