Ciryl Gane Awaits UFC Opponent at 36 as Tom Aspinall Rematch Remains Unconfirmed

Summary
Ciryl Gane said he still has no confirmed opponent for his next UFC fight, even with a title-unification rematch against Tom Aspinall viewed as the likeliest option.
UFC has discussed the matchup with Gane's camp and Aspinall, but Gane said no outcome is guaranteed, so he is staying in training to avoid being caught off guard again.
Aspinall has been targeting a return after eye-poke damage and surgeries following UFC 321 nearly a year ago, making his recovery a key variable in whether the rematch happens.
The 36-year-old interim heavyweight champion said he wants either Aspinall or a rematch with Alex Pereira, who has also been pushing for another shot after Gane knocked him out in June.
