UFC champ Aspinall to have multiple eye surgeries

UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall is moving forward with multiple eye surgeries, as he continues to deal with the fallout of injuries sustained during a title fight against Ciryl Gane in October.

Speedy recovery to Tom.

(Also fully expecting the haters to say he's faking having surgery).

This dude needs to man up and stop being a bitch

 

[King in the North]

No actual details on the surgery though, right?

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Yet ... they have done nothing to increase the penalty for fouls in the cage.

 

[xhaydenx]

lol.

Cleared by every doctor who examined it until Dr. ChatGP comes along and diagnoses him with the dreaded "Brown Syndrome" that no one's actually heard of, and now he needs multiple surgeries.

At this point, dude is either trolling to rustle jimmies or he's doing everything he can to delay getting battered by Gane again.

Not believing this until I see a livestream of the surgeries

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

In b4 "surgery just wrapped. Will be 2 months before I can see again. See ya's in late August/early 27"

No, also this is all solely coming directly from Tom and his dad:

Aspinall (15-3) will have completed surgeries on both eyes by mid-January, according to statements given on his YouTube channel.

If it's a broken orbital, that type of damage is much more consistent with a punch than a poke.

 

[Mammothman]

Embarassing

 

[Pittie Petey]

Dang, he's really going all out to keep this gimmick going

This is just like when Ricky Steamboat rubbed his face raw with sand paper to make it look like he really got burned with a fireball thrown by Roddy Piper in the Carolinas back in 1983

 

[10000yearsold]

I hope he’s having them both replaced with titaniums

 

[Portland8242]

Omg he's really getting his eyeballs cut open to maintain the charade?!?!


In all seriousness though holy fuck the people calling him faker are looking stupid now.

The scumbags in here wanted Stipe stripped after he had to have surgery because of DC’s blatant cheating by eyepokes. He poked Stipe in ALL three fights, and you should be able to remember it correctly.

:45 seconds into the third fight (after recovering from his surgery ) he fucking did it AGAIN. I had zero problems when Stipe skewered DC back.

Meanwhile DC was lobbying to have Stipe stripped. While he was recovering from the surgery.

Fuck Gane.

He’s a serial cheater, intentionally trying to eyepoke his opponents. Or a shot or two to the back of the head. He’s the one people should be bitching about. But Jones’ lowlife fans have a problem with victims of cheating being pissed off about being cheated against. When video evidence shows this is not incidental, but intentional.

HW is so screwed. Wonder if we'll even get a proper title fight next year...

 

[fendertach]

Ok time to strip him I guess. That was a good run Tom, you were only 17 title wins shy of surpassing Jones.

 

[Harlekin]

Your definition of battered is landed 30 to 27 punches, which were mostly jabs and leg taps?
Gane was winning 1 round, that's it

Full double eye replacement? Sounds serious.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Full double eye replacement? Sounds serious.

He's lucky to be alive. He's right, WHY were we bewwwwwwin him?

 

[gentel]

Send Gane 2-3 years PFL and forget
