ABU DHABI: UFC 321 has added three more international matchups to its already stacked lineup ahead of the Oct. 25 event at Etihad Arena.

The card is headlined by Tom Aspinall’s first UFC heavyweight title defense against French contender Ciryl Gane and will now feature added depth across the featherweight and lightweight divisions.

British featherweight Nathaniel Wood is set to face Mexico’s Jose Miguel Delgado in what promises to be a dynamic clash of styles.

Wood, who made a successful move up from bantamweight, has built a reputation as a well-rounded and dangerous fighter. He enters Abu Dhabi aiming to break into the featherweight top 15.

Delgado arrives with just one professional loss and a size advantage. Known for his aggression and finishing instinct, the rising Mexican talent faces the toughest test of his career in Wood.

In the lightweight division, Poland’s Mateusz Rebecki will meet Slovakia’s Ľudovit “Mr Highlight” Klein in a bout tipped to be a potential Fight of the Night.

Rebecki, a graduate of Dana White’s Contender Series, is known for his relentless pressure and slick submissions. His UFC tenure has featured both setbacks and gritty, crowd-pleasing victories.

Klein, a sharp southpaw striker, is aiming to bounce back after a loss to Mateusz Gamrot ended his seven-fight unbeaten streak.

This matchup pits Rebecki’s ground game against Klein’s striking and could have major implications for the lightweight rankings.

Palestinian featherweight Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady also returns to action in Abu Dhabi, where he will take on Brazil’s Matheus Camilo.

Al-Selwady, a former champion in both Desert Force and Brave CF, is seeking his first UFC win following a loss to Loik Radzhabov in 2024.

The bout marks Camilo’s second UFC appearance after a debut loss earlier this year. With both fighters searching for a breakthrough, this contest carries added emotional and career weight.

UFC 321 will also feature a co-main event between Brazil’s Virna Jandiroba and American grappler Mackenzie Dern for the vacant women’s strawweight title.
