Tom Aspinall wants to "get rid of" Ciryl Gane from UFC heavyweight title picture

Following Jon Jones' retirement, Tom Aspinall was promoted from interim champion to the UFC heavyweight champion. Ciryl Gane, who has previously fought for the undisputed heavyweight title twice, will be Aspinall's first title defense.

In a recent video on his YouTube channel, Aspinall previewed his upcoming fight and shared his thoughts on facing Gane, saying:

"This is the fourth time that we've been matched up together... We are matched up, on the 25th of October, Abu Dhabi. Me and Ciryl, the fourth attempt is here, and this is Ciryl's third title shot. So, we are going to try and get rid of Ciryl Gane from the title picture for good." [0:38]

He added:

"We both have a niche style for heavyweights. We don't fight like heavyweights, both of us. So, this could be the fastest, the best-moving heavyweight fight that anybody's ever seen. We're both great movers, we're both light on our feet, we're both elusive, so this is going to be great." [3:30]
