With 10 days to go until UFC 321, the card has reportedly added a new matchup.

On October 25, Tom Aspinall will face Ciryl Gane in a heavyweight title fight that will hopefully mark the beginning of a new era for the division.

The Brit is hoping that will be just the start of his undisputed reign, as he hopes to keep the division moving by regularly defending his title.

Joe Rogan may not be making the trip over to Abu Dhabi, but it does seem like two members of the roster will be making some late notice travel plans following a recent report.

Valter Walker vs Louie Sutherland reportedly added to UFC 321 after recent cancelled fights

Along with the heavyweight title fight in the main event, UFC 321 features several other matchups in the same division.

The most notable one being a main card clash between Alexander Volkov and Jailton Almeida, which will serve as a title eliminator given their current positions in the division.

Brazilian reporter Laerte Viana has now claimed that another heavyweight bout is being added to UFC 321 on short notice due to both men having their recent fights cancelled.

Valter Walker was furious with Mohammed Usman after he missed out on the opportunity to compete in front of his home fans at UFC Rio this past weekend.

For Scottish heavyweight Louie Sutherland, his Octagon debut was pushed back after his scheduled opponent in Perth, Justin Tafa, had issues with his weight cut.

Viana wrote on X that after missing out on some big opportunities in recent weeks, the two men will now face each other on October 25.

This fight will take UFC 321 up to 13 fights in total

Even with the addition of another heavyweight bout, UFC 321 isn’t going to be one of the biggest cards that the promotion has put on this year.

That being said, it still looks like a strong PPV card, though that might depend on how invested you are in the heavyweight division due to that being where four of the bouts will take place.

The full card before the new addition was reported looked like this:
