Overview
- Joe Rogan said Aspinall "might not ever fight again" as the heavyweight champion continues to struggle with vision issues more than two months after UFC 321.
- UFC 321 ended as a no-contest when Ciryl Gane accidentally poked Aspinall in both eyes late in Round 1.
- Aspinall has reported persistent double vision and a diagnosis consistent with bilateral traumatic Brown’s syndrome, with surgeries scheduled on each eye by mid-January.
- Rogan pushed back on claims that Aspinall exaggerated the injury, noting video shows a deep poke to the left eye despite the right eye being the bigger issue.
- Aspinall said he is prioritizing his health, dismissing online critics, and he still aims to rematch Gane once cleared, leaving the heavyweight title picture in limbo.
