Overview
- Andy Aspinall says his son currently has no vision in his right eye and about 50% in his left following the UFC 321 foul.
- The title fight was stopped at 4:35 of round one and ruled a no-contest after an accidental double eye poke, so Aspinall retained the belt.
- Further evaluations are scheduled in the UK, including a CT scan, after an Abu Dhabi hospital initially deemed the injury not “dangerous.”
- Dana White says the promotion will rebook Aspinall vs. Ciryl Gane once the champion is medically cleared, and Gane has apologized for the foul.
- Reaction across MMA is divided, with T.J. Dillashaw and Aljamain Sterling questioning Aspinall’s decision to stop, while Matt Brown calls for instant disqualifications and Joe Rogan advocates redesigned gloves with covered fingertips.
