Renowned sports medicine doctor Brian Sutterer recently weighed in on Tom Aspinall’s eye injury.
Aspinall looked to defend his heavyweight title for the first time against Ciryl Gane in the main event at UFC 321 last weekend in Abu Dhabi. “Honey Badger” was simultaneously poked in both eyes by Gane late in the first round. The fight was declared a no contest after Aspinall failed to recover his vision.
However, some fighters and fans believe Aspinall should have continued fighting. While Chael Sonnen believes Aspinall should have continued with an injured eye, Aljamain Sterling didn’t think the eye was seriously injured in the first place.
