Media Joe Rogan says Tom Aspinall may NEVER fight again after getting eye surgery

[Tweak896]

IDK why but I feel the UFC are going to strip Tom of the title. If he has surgery and can't guarantee them a return date, then he might have to vacate. Such a shame.

I think it's a good idea. Don't get me wrong Jones fucked his career with his shit. But still by June 2025, Aspinall has been HW champ without a complete fight or even a fight for the title. LHW champs Jiri and Hill actually won the title and still vacated.

Give Aspinall proper time to recover. A vacant title even opens up Pereira vs _____. Aspinall fights for title when ready to return. I'm just so fucking sick of HW ever since DC/Stipe trilogy. The division just does nothing.

What kind of surgery u had when u was able to leave same day?

At least 60% if not 80% of surgeries are same day. You're in and out.

If you want to pivot and then shit on all minor surgeries, then sure, that's the tough guy route you're allowed. But they are surgeries by definition

Imagine if his eyesight got better, and then he beats Gane in the rematch using the improved vision that Gane literally handed him on a plate by sticking his feces-infested fingers into Tom's eyes?

Please wipe and wash your hands, people. Cuz karma is real.

Tom's gonna get some Kiroshi Optics. It's over for Gane.

Great take! Thank you for the intellectual inspiration, Joe.

He might also never fight again if he’ll gets eaten by a Hippopotamus.

Do hippo's even eat meat? I guess it could mistake him for a fruit.

I risk my sherdog career every time I eat a packet of Cheetos in my mom's basement. If I choke, I won't be able to shitpost again.

Sir, I have faith that you will be able to shitpost for years to come.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

God who fucking cares anymore?

I just want to see someone fight at this point, enough of this drama queen buisness, it’s not even helping to sell the fight anymore

Oh do Hippos eat meat….

Joe is a certified MD
He knows these things

 

[Fedorgasm]

Remember when Gerard Gordeau gouged Nakai's eye and everyone on Sherdog hated Gordeau for it?

 

[TheStruggler]

Hopefully Tom gets disability from the UFC and is set for life.

Posters acting like Joe made a presentation.

Dude got clipped from a 3 hour conversation.

You've been on sherdog for 5 hours today. Have some perspective.

Doesn't mean he didn't say it. Not really sure what your point is, he either said what he said or didn't say what he said.

 

[SuperNerd]

Doesn't mean he didn't say it.

Arguably. The quote is edited and slightly misleading.

And majority of the front page is mocking him for stating something obvious. "Of course if surgery goes bad, it will be bad- duh"

When in context, Joe is just thinking out loud, making a hypothetical situation, in a casual conversation. He's not presenting facts.

The laughable side of this...

Cyril Gane getting ANOTHER gifted title shot.

Tom at least earned his singular shot.

The HW division is such a joke.
The champ ducked the interim champ to win a belt from a guy who never held any belt.

The interim champ gets shit on for chasing the actual hw title. Gets poked into having it stripped and gifted to a gatekeeper (with world record hw title shots without a single win).

Fans over chanting "usa" and supporting this white house nonsense. Now it's time to gift Cyril a bmf belt to legitimatize Jones.

Tom "earned" his title shot by beating Tybura.

Gane has never gotten such a weak title shot.

 

[markg171]

Sherbros doubling down on the fighter bashing instead of just admitting they were wrong lmao.

It's not fighter bashing to point out Tom's being a baby when his own medical report repeatedly said his eyes are physically fine.

 

[markg171]

Any evidence of that? Anyone can just say that they got surgery. One of my New Year's resolutions is to no longer automatically believe anyone with a YouTube channel.

What kind of surgery u had when u was able to leave same day? Like anytime u go under full anesthesia u have to stay atleast 24 hours - even after light surgeries like extractions...

Was once released few hours after surgery, but it was only because i knew doctor which made surgery personally + It was local anethesia and i talked with him and his colleague meanwhile he extracted nails and wires from my leg.- If i didn't knew him i would have to stay 24 hours minimal...

Isn't it amazing that Tom can have "eye surgery" that leaves zero trace of it on his face or eye?

And that he didn't Youtube it like he does everything else in his life but did Youtube him telling you he totally did it?

 

[VinceArch]

Well hopefully it goes well.

 

[Deathmask]

You're right, I've seen zero Aspinall bashing here.

 

[KO Shotz]

Just get the division up & running again.

 

[markg171]

You're right, I've seen zero Aspinall bashing here.

Where is the fighter bashing in saying Tom is pretending to be injured when his own doctors say he's pretending to be injured
