Ciryl Gane had quite an inauspicious performance against Tom Aspinall at UFC 321 and the former has touched on the errant eye poke to Aspinall that caused the belt to be waved off. The no contest verdict dealt out for the UFC heavyweight championship fight from over the weekend took the wind out of the sails of many as an poke to Aspinall’s eyes caused the bout to be thrown out the window in the opening round.
In a fight that he came into as sizable underdog, Gane was giving a solid account of himself inside the octagon against Aspinall up until the foul resulted in the French fighter’s third bid for an undisputed UFC title going up in smoke.
