The main fight of UFC 321 It ended disappointingly, but Dana White liked what it did. Cyryl Gane presented in the short period of action. Last Saturday (25), in Abu Dhabi (UAE), the duel between Tom aspinall, heavyweight champion (up to 120,2 kg), and the Frenchman ended in a no contest in the opening round, after the former was unable to continue competing due to an accidental poke in the eye. Despite the frustration with what happened, the company president praised 'Bon Gamin'.
At the post-UFC 321Dana White was impressed with Gane, despite the foul he committed in the fight. And the UFC president's position is understandable. Even though he was considered a big underdog to win the fight, the Frenchman surprised Aspinall and gave him a real fight, defying the expectations of fans and sports professionals.

In just a few minutes, the athlete demonstrated improved takedown defense and, sharper than ever in striking, made the Englishman bleed with his precise strikes. It's worth noting that, before the fight, Gane was belittled by many and criticized for his fighting style. But now, Dana claims that an immediate rematch between the athletes becomes interesting largely because of the Frenchman's attitude.
“After the fight against Jon Jones"A lot of people wrote off Gane. He looked great tonight. I'm sure he was training like a dog in his camp for this fight. It's a shame it ended the way it did. I think the fans will be much more interested in the rematch. He left Aspinall bleeding, and Aspinall didn't want to continue in the fight," said the UFC president.
Rematch will happen
At the same press conference, Dana White stated that the right thing to do is to schedule a new fight between the top heavyweights. According to the UFC president, it's just a matter of time and checking the status of Tom aspinall.
