Aljamain Sterling doubts whether Tom Aspinall’s injury was severe enough to stop fighting.
Aspinall put his heavyweight title on the line against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321 last weekend in Abu Dhabi. The fight abruptly ended in a no contest as Aspinall was unable to continue from a double eye poke by Gane in the first round. The eye poke and Aspinall’s decision to stop fighting have left fans and pundits divided.
Sterling is among those who believe Aspinall could have perhaps continued fighting. Judging by online images of Aspinall’s eye injury, Sterling doesn’t think it was severe.
