Rumored Ank/Alex 2 for 320, Tom/Gane for 321, & JDM/Islam for 322

Tom said his next opponent is the most dangerous man in the UFC. I'll leave at that

Joe Son!?

So JDM isn't fighting in Australia?

Perth card is a fight night

Wonder who headlines that? Izzy vs someone maybe?

Would rather see something like tom vs pereira and ank vs jiri.

My number 1 reasoning: fuck gane.

And I think Ank and Pereira just match up terribly. It will be another stinker where someone wins a decision by 2%. Would rather watch more interesting matchups.

So if Gane gives Tom even a little bit of a scare. Maybe pushes Tom to the 3rd round, what does that say about Jon after Jon big brothered him in seconds?

It still says that Jon is a duck.
Because he is.

So the Islam and Ank, the two main Muslims fighters, aren’t fighting in Abu Dhabi PPV card of 2025? How will haters spin this?

maybe wait for it to be confirmed then, worry about "haters"

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

At the 43:30 mark Marcel & Adam state the main events for UFC 320, 321, & 322. I believe Marcel is one of the most reliable sources in all of MMA, particularly when it comes to announcing fights.

Tom vs Gane for Abu-Dhabi makes sense given the Volkov/Jailton announcement. Hope the UFC does something similar for MSG by booking Brady vs Shavkat under JDM/Islam.

Thoughts aside from true if huge?

I could do huge if true but I won't.

My real thoughts if all this is true................

 

[Portland8242]

I am really over Gane. He's had his chances and is coming off a robbery win. I guess it is as good as we can get right now though.

He is one of Tom's easiest matchups at HW. Kind of excited to see Tom put his grappling on display again.

 

[GoodBadHBK]

Rather see Tom vs Alex

 

[JoeRowe]

Any particular example?
It's weird to me that I always follow MMA news and never saw this one as an original source

FFS if youre unfamiliar with Marcel then you dont follow mma media very closely at all.

 

[MartiniSIDe]

Gane doesn't deserve it but at the same time he'll definitely be better than vs Volkov since he broke his foot in the 1st.

Still really interested in this matchup

 

[Darkavius]

Not as negative as most are about Aspinall/Gane.

Aspinall/Gane-It's time to get HW moving again and it actually comes with a small amount of stakes. This is Gane's likely final chance at a HW belt in the UFC. It's pretty much all or nothing for Gane. As far as Aspinall goes has the layoff hurt him or is he still the best HW in the UFC?

Ankalaev/Pereira 2-I think this fight is just to see more of where Alex is at now in MMA. If he wins or loses he can go to HW but LHW really needs a Pereira win. The division is more interesting with him as champ.

JDM/Islam-After DDP/Chimaev this is my most anticipated fight of the year. I understand why Islam is the favorite but JDM can play spoiler here.

Ilia?

 

[Bradillac]

Alex makes it looks easy in the rematch.

 

[tymikeson]

Poatan is 38 now
His chin didn't look good vs Ank
He had massive problems with the southpaw stance, being a left hooker
Couldn't pull the trigger on his straight right, which should be his main weapon

An age to get knocked out at. Even for LHW

38 is young guy!!!!!!- Olexandr Usyk - July 20th, 2025

All this plus now he is randomly 250

Derrick Lewis then

Nah. He's legit... But I don't recall him dropping high profile fights like these... mostly prelim fights.
