Tom Aspinall has had enough. The UFC heavyweight champion fired back at former interim titleholder Ciryl Gane on Tuesday after Gane posted a training update implying he was still waiting for news on his next fight. Aspinall still recovering from the eye pokes that ended their first bout in a no-contest didn’t appreciate the message.
The pair first met in the main event of UFC 321, where Gane accidentally poked Aspinall in both eyes during the opening round. Though ruled unintentional, the foul left Aspinall unable to see, forcing the referee to wave off the fight just minutes into the contest.
