Overview
- Aspinall says he had one eye operation between Christmas and New Year and has a second procedure scheduled for mid-January, leaving him not medically cleared to train or fight.
- Clinical reports detail orbital soft‑tissue trauma, bilateral traumatic Brown’s syndrome, persistent double vision, impaired eye movement and a small medial orbital wall fracture.
- Joe Rogan cautioned that Aspinall might never compete again if surgery outcomes are poor, and Michael Bisping agreed that eye procedures carry serious risks.
- Bisping, who lost vision in one eye after multiple surgeries, urged Aspinall not to rush back, warning recovery should take months to avoid permanent damage.
- Aspinall called the rehabilitation process a nightmare, explained doctors first tried conservative healing, pledged to seek a rematch with Ciryl Gane, and commentators have floated an interim title bout as a possibility if his layoff extends.
