The daddy of UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has shared a discouraging replace relating to the attention harm his son sustained at UFC 321.
Tom Aspinall’s first protection of his undisputed heavyweight title got here to an abrupt halt when his bout with Cyrille Gane was dominated a no-contest simply minutes into the UFC 321 headliner. As Aspinall exchanged blows, Gehn unintentionally struck each of his eyes, inflicting Aspinall to lose his eyesight and be deemed unfit to proceed competing.
Some followers, consultants and fellow fighters questioned whether or not Aspinall’s harm was severe sufficient to warrant a no-contest ruling. Within the hours following the conclusion of UFC 321, Aspinall shared a number of updates and harshly criticized Gane for his misconduct.
Aspinall’s preliminary prognosis was optimistic, however his father shared a distinct story on social media.

Within the lately uploaded video, YouTubeAndy Aspinall shared a disturbing replace relating to his son’s eye harm.
“Yesterday morning, we had an appointment with a buddy of ours…mainly he mentioned, ‘Unhealthy, not good.’ His left eye remains to be just a little closed, his proper eye remains to be not seeing, simply grey. They did a couple of phrase exams on him and he could not see something. He went down about 4 traces and could not see any phrases,” Aspinall mentioned.
“So one is de facto grey and the opposite one is not working but. His good eye wasn’t monitoring the sunshine correctly and his muscle mass weren’t sturdy sufficient (to observe). So he’ll have some further exams this week and must get a CT scan to ensure the bones are okay.”
UFC matchmakers are hoping to schedule an Aspinall vs. Gane rematch at a later date, presumably on the promotion’s first Paramount+ occasion in January. Nevertheless, Aspinall’s harm might delay these plans, and relying on the outcomes of extra exams, an interim title struggle might be an answer for his opponent to think about.
