Fightmatrix Focus: Analyzing the Canadian Contenders at UFC Vancouver, Including Jasudavicius’s Title Shot Aspirations

Posted on October 27, 2025 by A. J. Riot

Image source: AI

With the UFC returning to Vancouver, British Columbia, the focus is on Canadian athletes aiming to advance in the global rankings. The Fightmatrix MMA Rankings, which are based on objective data from the CIRRS engine, show that these fights on home soil are very important. They are a crucial period where performance metrics, especially the strength of the opponent and the kind of victory, can change a fighter’s path in a big way. Both Canadian fans and experts want to know which member of the “Maple Leaf Militia” is most likely to make the biggest leap in the weight classes. The rankings method gives us the solution by looking at the forthcoming encounters in a strict way.

UFC 321: Aspinall vs Gane Preview

Posted on October 24, 2025 by Jack Latham

Tom Aspinall (C) vs Ciryl Gane

Background

A blockbuster encounter headlines UFC 321 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi as the heavyweight champion, Tom Aspinall, defends his belt for the first time against Ciryl Gane.

This will be Aspinall’s first defence after claiming the title in June, following Jon Jones’ retirement. He had previously won eight of his nine fights in the UFC, with each victory coming via either submission or KO.

Aspinall’s only loss was also in contentious fashion, as he injured his medial collateral ligament after just 15 seconds of his first fight with Curtis Blaydes.

As for Gane, this will be his second shot at UFC gold after his submission loss to Jon Jones in March 2023. A controversial victory over Aleksandar Volkov last year has given him another opportunity, one that ‘Bon Gamin’ will be desperate to take.

Gane has showcased his knockout power in the past with victories over Tai Tuivasa and Serghei Spivac but is also very efficient in the clinch, something that may put the champion on notice…

Della Maddalena vs Makhachev: Who’s more likely to come out on top?

Posted on October 16, 2025 by A. J. Riot

All eyes are turning towards the much-anticipated fight for the UFC Welterweight title that will take place between Jack Della Maddalena and Islam Makhachev. We wait with bated breath for the bout on November 15^th when the Aussie and Russian will face off in Madison Square Garden.

It’s sure to be a close one between Della Maddalena, the current UFC Welterweight Champion, and Makhachev, the former Lightweight Champion. Both have the skills needed to take the title, but Makhachev will enter the contest as many people’s favorite, especially given his current all-round form. There’s more to look forward to with the Women’s Flyweight title between Shevchenko and Weili also on the cards!
