Overview
- On the NoScripts podcast, Jones said Aspinall's wrestling and jiu-jitsu are "incredibly overrated" and praised only his jab–cross combination.
- Jones has also mocked Aspinall since UFC 321, changing his avatar to a duck with an eye patch and appearing at a weigh-in on a horse wearing an eye patch.
- UFC 321 ended at 4:35 of Round 1 as a no-contest after Ciryl Gane accidentally poked both of Aspinall’s eyes, with official stats showing a close start (Gane 30 significant strikes to Aspinall’s 27).
- Aspinall remains under medical care and has not regained full vision according to updates from his father and coach.
- UFC CEO Dana White says the promotion intends to rebook Aspinall vs. Gane once Aspinall is medically cleared, as figures like Bas Rutten call for harsher penalties for eye pokes, including financial fines.
