UFC, Aspinall and Jon Jones
Digest more
The UFC heavyweight division formally moved on from the Jon Jones era when Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane met in the main event of UFC 321.
When Jon Jones retired from MMA in early 2025, he did so under somewhat complicated circumstances. By the time he hung up the gloves, he was irrefutably one of the greatest fighters in MMA history—maybe the best outright.
Opening the main card was undefeated contender Azamat Murzakanov. The Russian moved to 16-0 in style, with Murzakanov knocking out Aleksandar Rakic with a jab in round one. Should ‘Poatan’s’ next port of call in the UFC be a defense of the light heavyweight belt, Carlos Ulberg may have some competition for the spot.
