Overview
- Jones told the NoScripts Podcast that Aspinall’s wrestling and jiu-jitsu are “incredibly overrated,” saying the champion relies mainly on a crisp one‑two.
- The UFC 321 main event was halted at 4:35 of Round 1 and ruled a no-contest after Ciryl Gane’s accidental double eye poke left Aspinall unable to continue, per referee Jason Herzog.
- Aspinall has undergone follow-up evaluations and has not fully regained vision in either eye, according to updates from his father and head coach.
- UFC CEO Dana White has said the promotion intends to rebook Aspinall vs. Gane, with timing dependent on the champion receiving medical clearance.
- Jones also mocked the injury with an eyepatch-themed avatar and a weigh-in stunt and later questioned Aspinall’s resolve, while official stats showed a close start with Gane landing 30 significant strikes to Aspinall’s 27 and defending a takedown attempt.
