The Ultimate Fighting Championship will bring an intriguing lineup to Abu Dhabi later this month.
The Las Vegas-based promotion on Saturday confirmed the main card for UFC 321, which takes place on Oct. 25 at Etihad Arena in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. In the headliner, newly-crowned undisputed heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall will make his first title defense against Ciryl Gane, while Virna Jandiroba and Mackenzie Dern will vie for the vacant strawweight belt in the co-main event.
Additionally, Umar Nurmagomedov will return for the first time since falling short in a bantamweight title bout at UFC 311, as he takes on surging contender Mario Bautista in a pivotal 135-pound tilt.
