Tom Aspinall Undergoes First Eye Surgery, Schedules Second for Mid-January After UFC 321 Pokes

Doctors diagnosed significant bilateral Brown’s syndrome, requiring staged operations to restore eye movement, depth perception, vision.

Overview

  • Aspinall said in a video update that the first procedure is done and a second eye surgery is booked for mid-January.
  • Medical notes he shared cite bilateral traumatic Brown’s syndrome with ongoing double vision and restricted ocular motility.
  • Recovery from the surgeries is expected to take months, making a return to full training unlikely before spring 2026.
  • The UFC wants to rebook a rematch with Ciryl Gane once Aspinall is medically cleared, though no date is set.
  • Aspinall has continued to accuse Gane of intentional fouling, while he also criticized early post-fight comments from Dana White that were later softened.
