Jon Jones held the title hostage with his endless retirement threats and demands for bigger paydays. Fans grew tired of waiting for him to defend against Tom Aspinall, the interim champion who seemed ready to fight. Jones kept talking about legacy fights and super fights while Aspinall sat on the sidelines, holding a meaningless interim belt. Finally, the drama reached its breaking point when Jones officially announced his retirement, clearing the path for the division to move forward.<\/p><p>The heavyweight title picture had been a complete disaster for months. Jones won the belt by submitting Ciryl Gane in March 2023, then basically disappeared from active competition. He fought Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 in what many considered a pointless legacy fight. Meanwhile, Aspinall was out there knocking people out left and right, proving he deserved a shot at the undisputed title. The British fighter earned his interim belt by destroying Sergei Pavlovich and then defended it by getting revenge against Curtis Blaydes in his home country. Every heavyweight contender wanted to fight Aspinall because he represented the future of the division. Now, he is set to defend the undisputed belt at <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/mma\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>UFC <\/a>321.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tom Aspinall Finally Gets To Defend His Undisputed Belt!&nbsp;<\/h2><p>Now that Jones has stepped aside, the UFC can finally book the fights that fans actually want to see. Tom Aspinall officially became the undisputed heavyweight champion, and the promotion wasted no time setting up his first title defense. He will face Ciryl Gane at UFC 321 on October 25th in Abu Dhabi. This matchup makes perfect sense from every angle. Both men are still in their primes, both bring exciting fighting styles, and both have legitimate claims to being among the best heavyweights in the world.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WE GOT HEAVYWEIGHT NEWS&#8252;&#65039;<br><br>Ciryl Gane will fight Tom Aspinall for the title <br><br>October 25th, Abu Dhabi&#128205; <br><br>Via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RedCorner_MMA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@RedCorner_MMA<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/f3F6cjmvN0\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/f3F6cjmvN0<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Spinnin Backfist (@SpinninBackfist) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpinninBackfist\/status\/1947745265257165242?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 22, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Aspinall brings some seriously impressive credentials into this fight. His 15-3 record tells only part of the story because of how he wins his fights. The guy has never needed the judges in the UFC, finishing every single one of his eight victories within 2 rounds. That&rsquo;s the kind of devastating power that makes heavyweights dangerous and unpredictable. His last performance against Curtis Blaydes was particularly satisfying because it avenged his only UFC loss.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Gane represents a fascinating challenge for Aspinall&rsquo;s first title defense. The French fighter brings a unique style to the heavyweight division with his kickboxing background and surprising mobility for such a big man. He&rsquo;s currently on a two fight winning streak and holds a solid 13-2 overall record. His only recent loss came against Jones in that title fight back in March 2023, where he got caught in a submission.&nbsp;<\/p><p>This fight represents everything the heavyweight division needed: two active fighters in their primes with genuine title implications. Abu Dhabi will host its 10th UFC event at Etihad Arena, providing the perfect international stage for this championship bout. Aspinall can finally prove he belongs at the top without any asterisks or interim labels attached to his success!<\/p><p><strong>(Image Credit: Wendell Cruz &ndash; Imagn Images)<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a long inactivity in the heavyweight division, Tom Aspinall finally gets to defend his undisputed belt at UFC 321!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":75889,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1783],"tags":[6107,1860,8621],"class_list":["post-75888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mma","tag-ciryl-gane","tag-tom-aspinall","tag-ufc-321"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>UFC Heavyweight Division Finally Moves On As Tom Aspinall Gets Opponent For UFC 321!
