UFC heavyweight champon Tom Aspinall has received supporting words from Francis Ngannou regarding the controversial ending to his UFC 321 fight against Ciryl Gane.
In the main event of UFC 321, Tom Aspinall suffered a double eye poke that led to him being unable to continue against Ciryl Gane. In the aftermath of the result, many fighters actually came out and criticized the Englishman for not being able to continue – whereas many others sympathized with the fact that Tom was clearly in quite a lot of pain and discomfort, especially after Gane had already been warned multiple times about eye pokes.
