Gane, however, has played down Aspinall's pre-fight move, calling it 'stupid'.

Tom Aspinall earned a new nickname early in UFC 321 fight week.

UFC 321 will take place at the state-of-the-art Etihad Arena, which has been the promotion’s home in the UAE since January 2021.

The UFC 321 fight card is headlined by two title fights Saturday afternoon. In the main event, UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall defends his undisputed title for the first time when he faces former UFC interim heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane.
