Overview
- Tom Aspinall’s father says his right eye has no vision and his left is roughly 50% three days after Ciryl Gane’s double eye poke at UFC 321.
- The heavyweight title bout was stopped at 4:35 of Round 1 and ruled a no-contest after Aspinall told officials he could not see.
- Further evaluations, including a CT scan, are scheduled this week to assess damage, and any return timeline depends on medical clearance.
- UFC CEO Dana White says the promotion intends to rebook Aspinall vs. Gane, but no date is set given the champion’s ongoing vision issues.
- Debate over the stoppage has intensified as figures like TJ Dillashaw and Aljamain Sterling question Aspinall’s response, while Henry Cejudo advises him to ignore criticism and recover, and Jon Jones escalates taunts with an eyepatch-themed stunt.
