Father Gives Concerning Update on Tom Aspinall’s Condition Following UFC 321

[usernamee]

If he is now disabled, is he going to vacate the belt?

if he can find it

 

[Prince Nephilim]

He’s gonna sit out for another year to recover from double eye surgery

 

[RoadKing Custom]

You seem like a fanboy for poor Tom. Then have pity on him—he's about to have cowardice surgery.

I'm not a Tom fanboy. I'm a fighter fanboy.. these dudes fight for a living, I get enjoyment out of watching them do it. I don't want them losing eyes, needing surgeries, etc. I don't celebrate when they suffer potential life changing injuries. I guess you and I are just different that way.

This kid captured how many of us feel about Tom, even though i support him choosing not to continue after the foul, i am sick of him trying to justify it.

 

[Natural Order]

Has Michael Bisping come out with a novel on this yet? Fellow Brit, eye problems, etc...

How will Tom ever sleep knowing he's upset you.

Poor guy.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

Poor guy.

no sleep for him

 

[FrankDux]

"my eyes were the size of a ballewn!"

 

[Khaosan]

no sleep for him

Good, more waking hours to trigger Sherbros. I hope he can put more videos out with this newfound time.

 

[Mammothman]

As I said already, that was another moron.

You the one who said he talked shit and behaved badly.

Then laud Jon fucking Jones! LOL.

Hard to keep up with so many idiots.

For what it’s worth I absolutely agree JJ is probably the GOAT, but he failed 3 drug tests (fact he randomly took 30 months off in his prime, suggests more).


But you have to be retarded to have convinced yourself JJ is a better human than Tom……or just about anyone else ever born.

This is MMA not the best role model competition.

I know Tom and his dad have put out all this footage so far, but have they said what the actual damage is yet?

His dad was saying he can't see after 3 days. If that's true then there has to be actual damage of some sort. The doctors would know by now what it actually is.

 

[Prazeres]

Aspinall retires as a bigger what if than Cain, Jon vs Poatan for the vacant belt at bthe white house, both retire on the spot and finally Gane vs Volkov 3 for the vacant belt again.

Unfortunately that isn't how the eye works.

I was hit by a tennis ball playing a night game and within minutes couldn't keep that eye open. At an emergency ophthalmologist visit the next day, they used a specialized die and blue light to examine the damage, and fortunately only my sclera (the white part of your eye) was scratched and the retina was OK.

Despite not injuring my retina, I couldn't see clearly for days and had really bad vertigo come and go.

The iris muscle is a sphincter, it just dilates and constricts - this is why the eye spasms and is hard to keep open after trauma.

Dude is likely really going through it.

So nothing like Tom who has neither injury.

 

[Bradillac]

Unbelievable that wasn’t a DQ win for Tom.

 

[Khaosan]

I’d consider it a win, look at the meltdowns we’ve been blessed to laugh at.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

All these people criticizing Tom... it's depressing that so many people get a kick out of being shitty and stupid, but that's the world in 2025.

We look forward to every second of being dumb, because when we aren’t, the rest of you are.

 

[don't ask]

Stop being an idiot.

You didn't read or comprehend my post - there was NO DAMAGE to my retina, yet I could hardly keep my eye open for a day and had about a week of blurry vision, light sensitivity and vertigo.

Even if your retina is not damaged or scratched, the iris muscles are a sphincter and dilator - this is why its hard to keep your eye open after trauma because it spasms.

If you get trauma to the eye and the muscles spasm, if absolutely will screw up your vision, depth perception and even balance.

To be clear, that is 100% true if your retina is not scratched or damaged. Certainly was a bad few weeks for me.

I did read. Your eye closed up within minutes and scratches were discovered on your eye by the emergency doctors.

Neither of those are Tom's situation. His eyes have never closed up at any point and no scratches were discovered on his eyes. In fact nothing at all has been discovered or happened besides Tom's claim he can't see despite plenty of evidence showing he can.

But thanks for your private health history.
