Joe Rogan Questions Tom Aspinall’s Fighting Future as Eye Surgeries Near

Rogan’s warning underscores the uncertainty surrounding the champion’s recovery.

Overview

  • UFC 321 ended in a no-contest when Ciryl Gane accidentally poked Tom Aspinall in both eyes late in Round 1.
  • Aspinall has disclosed a diagnosis consistent with Brown’s Syndrome and persistent double vision, with operations expected on both eyes by mid-January.
  • Joe Rogan said on his podcast that Aspinall “might not ever fight again” if surgery goes poorly, noting the unpredictability of eye procedures.
  • Rogan also highlighted the heavyweight division’s thin depth and argued that a prolonged absence for the champion would further weaken the field.
  • Aspinall pushed back at online critics, saying he is prioritizing recovery and aims to pursue a rematch with Gane once he is cleared.
