ABU DHABI — UFC 321 will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. Between a no-contest heavyweight main event and a slate of grind-heavy fights, fans and fighters alike were left frustrated by the event’s lack of fireworks and former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson says he knows exactly how to fix it.
A record-breaking night for takedowns, not excitement
The event, headlined by Tom Aspinall vs. Ciryl Gane, ended abruptly when an eye poke forced Aspinall to stop fighting in the first round. But even before the anticlimax, much of the main card leaned heavily toward grappling over striking.
