Overview
- UFC 321’s main event was ruled a no-contest at 4:35 of Round 1 after Ciryl Gane’s accidental double eye poke left Tom Aspinall unable to continue.
- Jon Jones labeled Aspinall a "one-trick pony," calling his wrestling and jiu-jitsu "incredibly overrated" and asserting the champion "couldn’t touch Ciryl Gane."
- Jones further questioned Aspinall’s resolve on the NoScripts podcast, claiming he "immediately quits" when hurt and citing past bouts as examples.
- Jones amplified his jabs outside the cage, switching his social-media avatar to a duck with an eye patch and appearing at an event on a horse outfitted with an eye patch.
- Official UFC Stats showed Gane landed 30 significant strikes to Aspinall’s 27 and stuffed a takedown before the stoppage, while Aspinall has since undergone eye evaluations and reported short-term vision issues.
