- UFC 321’s heavyweight title fight was ruled a no contest after Ciryl Gane accidentally poked Tom Aspinall in both eyes early in Round 1.
- Andy Aspinall said his son currently has no vision in his right eye and about 50 percent in his left, with continued hospital visits after returning to the U.K.
- Tom Aspinall has addressed the situation with lighthearted Halloween posts, including an eye‑patch photo, while continuing medical follow‑ups.
- Veteran referee Herb Dean said an official meeting is scheduled to consider changes to how eye pokes are handled, criticizing the ‘intentional vs. unintentional’ standard.
- Reactions remain divided, with Belal Muhammad urging Aspinall to ignore critics, Valter Walker faulting the stoppage, and Henry Cejudo advocating automatic penalties for pokes.
