Did the medical staff put Tom Aspinall in a bad position?

[Söze Aldo]

I can't blame the medical staff. The eye that looked like it took the most damage from the strike, Tom wasn't even holding at the end and that eye itself didn't even look red.

Not saying it wasn't possibly injured but I can see how they didn't catch any visible injury at that time.

I thought the decision was made way too quickly to determine if he can keep fighting, remember you are given the full 5 minutes but it wasn't even half of that and Tom said he can't fight, but the eyes are so sensitive and it could have calmed down, at least have the full 5 to make a decision. It was only the last event that Holland looked done but he gave himself the full 5 and was able to get through it to the end of the fight, and he was in agony when it happened.

In rematch Tom will go for takedowns 100%.

If I were Tom in the rematch, I'd stick my finger so deep into Gane's eye that he'd be permanently blind. Then I'd kick him in the nuts so hard that it would render him infertile.

It's unlikely they'd even deduct a point, and it would be very satisfying.

Have you noticed that in not a single case has the fighter who was winning at the time withdrawn from the fight? What a strange coincidence. Sterling was losing to Yan, Johnny - to Ankalaev, Asp - to Gane (despite the rabid, frustrated fans who argue), and Belal to Edwards. Never (or give me an example, but it would be a very rare example) has a winning for the moment fighter withdrawn.

And even then he is under no obligation to continue just to appease the just bleed fans.

Yeh, saying it right away and then over and over is the easiest way to get the fight called off lol. Tom was in pain for sure, but he's not an idiot. He knew all this.

He didn't want to take the full 5 mins to even try and recover either, which I thought was lame.

I’m generally not in the camp that thinks he is a quitter but that was a dumb thing to say if he wanted to continue.

This!!!!!! This!!!!!!!!! Its always the loosing side, minus Anthony Smith vs Jones, its always the one in the losing end the ones looking for a way out, in this particular case, add the fact that he was the champion.
