The UFC’s October card in Vancouver has taken on a new look after a shake-up at the top of the bill. An injury to Anthony Hernandez has forced the middleweight contender out of his scheduled fight against Reinier de Ridder, leaving the promotion to turn to Brendan Allen as the replacement headliner. With the bout set for October 18 at Rogers Arena, both athletes will now compete with significant implications for the middleweight title picture.

UFC 321 Preview: Aspinall vs Gane

Posted on September 20, 2025 by Oleg

On Sat, Oct 25 at 2:00 PM EDT, UFC 321 – Aspinall vs Gane will take place in Etihad Arena, Yas Island, UAE. The main event will feature (C) [#2 HW] Tom Aspinall taking on [#1 HW] Ciryl Gane for the undisputed UFC Heavyweight Championship. Aspinall, the former interim title holder, was promoted to undisputed champion when the former champ Jon Jones announced his retirement.

You may wonder why Cyril Gane is ranked higher than the champion; the likely reason is his recent activity – or rather, Aspinall’s inactivity. As Tom Aspinall has not stepped into the Octagon for over a year, his FightMatrix.com rating has started to decay, putting him just slightly below the more recently active Gane. If we examine other rating formulas, Elo K-170 and Elo Modified also have Gane slightly ahead of Aspinall, while Glicko-1 and WHR systems give the edge to Tom.

Read on for the breakdown of the opponents careers, and our prediction for this exciting matchup. And if you would like to place a wager on this fight, Massachusetts sports betting sites are ready to accept your bet.

Former welterweight champion Leon Edwards has secured his next opponent for UFC 322, and the matchup could produce one of the year’s most explosive encounters. Dana White confirmed that Edwards will face Brazilian knockout artist Carlos Prates on November 15th at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The announcement occurred during White’s Instagram Live session, which added another high-stakes bout to what already appears as a spectacular card. Edwards enters this fight with the weight of a two-fight losing streak, something the Birmingham native has never faced in his professional career.

Dana White Confirms White House UFC Fight Night in 2026

Posted on September 4, 2025 by A. J. Riot

UFC CEO Dana White has confirmed that the White House will host a future Fight Night, with a potential date being set for July 4th next year, which will mark the 250th anniversary of the United States’ Independence.

The event could well take place on the South Lawn at the White House, which can apparently host as many as 25,000 spectators, but one wonders whether such a large gathering would be allowed in, given the security implications of such a crowd.

White enjoys a good relationship with US President Donald Trump, and such an occasion helps both their causes. On the one hand, it helps Trump garner support from the masses of UFC fans across the country, and for White, this helps bring even more exposure and gravitas to his organization, which is already truly massive worldwide.
