Before the match was declared a no-contest, Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane, the two fighters, were unable to survive the opening round of their heavyweight main event at UFC 321 inside Etihad Arena.
At the 4:35 mark of the first round, Aspinall (15-3-0) and Gane (12-2-0), both came out with a lot of energy before an unintentional double eye poke caused an official timeout.

At 4:15 into the end, the match was declared a no-contest because Aspinall (15-3-0) was unable to see out of his right eye during the allotted five-minute break.
Aspinall’s first defense as the undisputed heavyweight champion was in 2011.
What should I do in this situation? In response to the boo-boos rumblings that surrounded the arena, an disappointed Aspinall remarked, “I can’t see.” “This is]exhaustive,” you say. The conflict was just “going on.”
As the ring announcer made the official announcement, Gane sat down and was disappointed as well.
Gane expressed regret for her. “I’m so sorry about that,”
The champion wasted no time in launching a powerful attack on Gane, which Aspinall immediately got off to.
Gane, who is renowned for his elusive footwork, took command in the cage’s center by standing toe-toe. He displayed no intimidation.
Gane smacked the champ with a sharp jab. And Gane was able to defend it midway through the round when Aspinall attempted to take down the shot. Gane did a good job of circling out of the cage while landing jabs and low kicks when Aspinall attempted to cut it off.
Aspinall was still out until Gane’s eye-punch in the final minute of the round.
Down Jandiroba, then
Fifth-ranked contender Mackenzie Dern (16-5-0), who is 22-4-0), defeated top-ranked Virna Jandiroba (22-4-0), to take the vacant strawweight belt in a fierce co-main event where both women left the cage with battered right eyes.
Dern’s left hand was much more powerful and damaging than Dern’s, despite the two fighters’ impressive moments in some sparsely contested rounds.
The 32-year-old Brazilian cried as she heard the ring announcer announce her name as the new champion while having her belt tucked around her waist.
Dern remarked, “It feels amazing. “I need to see Moa,” he says. For Moa, this.
Dern’s six-year-old daughter Moa, who drew the UFC belt over her shoulder, joined her in the cage after that.
In a fight of the top-ranked bantamweights, No 2 Umar Nurmagomedov (19-1-0) and No 8 Mario Bautista (16-3-0) won unanimously.
Alexander Volkov, the second-ranked heavyweight champion, defeated No. 5 Jailton Almeida (22-4-0) in a split decision.
No 7 Aleksandar Rakic (14-6-0) made quick work of No 7 Azamat Murzakanov (16-0-0) in the light heavyweight division.
The division’s second-longest active UFC win streak was extended by Murzakanov’s first-round stoppage to six straight victories.
