Ahead of the scrap, BJPENN.com reached out to several professional fighters to get the predictions for the heavyweight title fight at UFC 321. The pros are unanimous that Aspinall will retain his heavyweight title with ease, and likely will by the finish.
BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Tom Aspinall vs. Ciryl Gane:
Mario Bautista, UFC bantamweight: I think Aspinall will remain at the top for a long time. Aspinall by finishing in the first or second round.
Youssef Zalal, UFC featherweight: Tom Aspinall by TKO. He is a step above everyone at heavyweight and that includes Gane, who will struggle against Aspinall’s speed and power.
Kyle Nelson, UFC lightweight: I think Aspinall should win. It should be quite easy for him. Ciryl doesn’t have a great ground game, so I think Tom can take him down and submit him.
Davey Grant, UFC bantamweight: Aspinall all day. I think he finishes early. Gane beats guys with his speed and punching power, but I don’t think he will have that advantage over Aspinall here.
Steve Garcia, UFC featherweight: Aspinall certainly due to a standstill. Likely due to early filing, similar to Jones.
Chris Barnett, UFC heavyweight: I hope someone slips on a banana peel and they bring me in as a replacement. Just kidding. Aspinall has shown he can do anything against strikers and wrestlers. I’m going with Aspinall on this one.
Eryk Anders, UFC middleweight: I think Aspinall. He has more paths to victory, and I think he is faster than Gane, which Gane is known for.
