Overview
- Optegra Eye Health Care and Tom Aspinall shared images confirming operations on both eyes as part of his recovery.
- The injury stemmed from Ciryl Gane’s eye poke in their October title fight at UFC 321, which was ruled a no-contest after Aspinall was taken to a hospital in Abu Dhabi.
- Dana White previously characterized the treatment as injections and questioned Aspinall’s willingness to continue, drawing a lighthearted response from the champion on his YouTube channel.
- Recovery is ongoing with no announced timetable for a return, and reporting notes discussions about a possible rematch with Gane and talk of an interim title as the division waits.
- The Independent reports an initial operation took place over the Christmas period and says Aspinall has not received injections.
