Overview
- Aspinall says he has already undergone one eye procedure and has a second operation scheduled for mid-January.
- He is not medically cleared to train, and with another surgery plus a full camp required, a 2026 rebooking appears likely rather than imminent.
- Doctors diagnosed bilateral traumatic Brown’s syndrome and persistent vision issues after multiple accidental eye pokes by Gane at UFC 321.
- Gane has returned to the gym and posted that he has no date or opponent as the UFC awaits Aspinall’s medical clearance.
- Dana White has indicated plans to rebook the fight once clearance is granted, and Aspinall has reiterated he aims to retire around age 35–36.
