Joe Rogan Calls Aspinall–Gane Stoppage ‘A Crime’ After UFC 321 No-Contest

The podcast remarks revive scrutiny of the controversial ending as the heavyweight division shifts to an interim title fight in June.

Overview

  • Rogan said Ciryl Gane was finding success early, praising his jab and movement and noting Tom Aspinall was having trouble landing.
  • The UFC 321 main event ended as a no-contest after Gane accidentally poked Aspinall in both eyes late in Round 1, leaving the champion unable to continue.
  • Dustin Poirier agreed with Rogan’s assessment, saying he wanted to see Aspinall face adversity and work back after dropping a round.
  • Aspinall underwent surgery on both eyes following the bout, and his timeline for a return remains uncertain.
  • With the champion sidelined, Gane is booked to face Alex Pereira for an interim heavyweight belt on June 14 at UFC Freedom 250 at the White House.
