Tom Aspinall vs. Ciryl Gane ended disastrously, but at least the inconclusive ending sets the stage for an immediate rematch. For four-plus minutes, Gane overdelivered against the undisputed champ, but an errant eyepoke brought UFC 321's main event to an unceremonious end.

The segment takes a special look at the heavyweight title fight between champion Tom Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) and two-time title challenger Ciryl Gane (13-2 MMA, 102- UFC). Aspinall is making the first attempted defense of the belt after being promoted from interim champion in the wake of the latest Jon Jones fiasco.
It's a disappointing result, with Gane getting off to a fantastic start in his third bid to become champion and Aspinall returning fire in his first defense as UFC champion. However, safety comes first for the fighters, though the crowd was not happy and booed Aspinall for not continuing to fight.
